What will I learn?
This course guides you through nitration, benzylic oxidation, acid chloride formation, and benzamide synthesis, emphasising electron movement, key intermediates, and rate-determining steps. You'll learn to foresee side reactions, adjust conditions for better selectivity, incorporate safety and eco-friendly practices, enabling confident experiment design and scale-up troubleshooting.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master drawing electron-flow arrows to track intermediates and rate-determining steps confidently.
- Diagnose and prevent side reactions with straightforward mechanism-driven approaches.
- Optimise nitration setups for selective p-nitrotoluene production while minimising polynitration.
- Fine-tune benzylic oxidations to carboxylic acids, preventing overoxidation and unwanted nitro reduction.
- Regulate acid chloride and benzamide synthesis through controlled nucleophilic acyl substitution.
