Reaction Mechanisms Course
This course equips you with mastery over key reaction mechanisms in nitration, benzylic oxidation, and acyl substitution. You will learn to predict intermediates, manage side reactions, select safer greener conditions, and enhance yield, selectivity, and reliability for your chemistry experiments and scale-up projects.

What will I learn?
Gain step-by-step mastery of nitration, benzylic oxidation, acid chloride formation, and benzamide synthesis, emphasising electron flow, intermediates, and rate-determining steps. Develop skills to predict side reactions, adjust conditions for better selectivity, incorporate safety and green chemistry principles, and confidently design experiments while troubleshooting scale-up challenges.
