What will I learn?
This Reaction Mechanisms Course guides you step by step through nitration, benzylic oxidation, acid chloride formation, and benzamide synthesis, emphasising electron flow, intermediates, and rate-determining steps. Gain skills to predict side reactions, adjust conditions, boost selectivity, and incorporate safety and green chemistry principles, empowering you to design reliable experiments and resolve scale-up issues confidently.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master electron-flow arrows to map intermediates and rate steps confidently.
- Diagnose and suppress side reactions with mechanism-based strategies.
- Design selective nitration conditions for p-nitrotoluene, minimising polynitration.
- Optimise benzylic oxidations to acids, preventing overoxidation and nitro reduction.
- Control acyl chloride and benzamide synthesis through tuned nucleophilic substitution.
