Reaction Mechanisms Course
This course teaches key reaction mechanisms for nitration, benzylic oxidation, acid chloride formation, and benzamide synthesis. Students learn to track electron flow, predict intermediates and rate-determining steps, manage side reactions, optimize selectivity and yield, and incorporate safety and green chemistry principles for reliable lab experiments and scale-up success.
