CHM1321/1721: π-bonds Nucleophile Reactions

Review Session Details
  • Alkene/alkyne addition reactions
    • Hydrohalogenation (HX) mechanism
    • Oxymercuration (Hg(OAc)2)mechanism
    • Hydroboration (BH3) mechanism
    • Halogenation (X2) mechanism
    • Epoxidation (RCO3H) mechanism
  • Carbocation stability (i.e., hyperconjugation and resonance)
  • 1,2 shift reaction with carbocations
  • Stereoselectivity of all the above mechanisms
  • Explanation of mechanism, stereochemistry and regioselectivity
  • Review Session will include problem solving from past Midterm questions.
  • All registered students will receive "Midterm/Exam Package" that includes multiple Midterms related to the above topics from previous years given by uOttawa Professors!
