Review Session Details
- Identifying aromaticity of compound (i.e., aromatic, anti-aromatic and non-aromatic)
- Huckles rules, ion stability
- General mechanism for electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reactions
- Nitration
- Sulfonation
- Friedel-Craft alkylation
- Friedel-Craft acylation
- Halogenation
- Sigma-complex resonance
- Directing groups: electron withdrawing and donating groups (EDGs or EWGs)
- Activating groups: speed of reaction and reactivity of aromatic as nucleophiles
- Retrosynthesis of EAS reactions
- Review Session will include problem solving from past Midterm questions.
- All registered students will receive "Midterm/Final Exam Package" that includes multiple Midterms related to the above topics from previous years given by uOttawa Professors!
