Review Session Details
- Assessment of carbocation stability
- Learning when/how to conduct 1,2 rearrangement reaction with carbocations
- Alkene/alkyne addition reactions in the presence of strong acid (i.e. ALL Markovnikov reactions)
- Hydroboration reaction (with thorough explanation of mechanism, stereochemistry and regioselectivity)
- Formation of epoxides using alkene (with thorough explanation of mechanism, stereochemistry and regioselectivity)
- Halogenation reaction using alkene/alkynes (with thorough explanation of mechanism, stereochemistry and regioselectivity)
- Understanding how to use Grignard reagents as nucleophiles
- Understanding how to use Boron/Aluminum hydrate reagents as nucleophiles
- Reduction of carbonyls using Boron/Aluminum hydrate reagents
- Alkylation of carbonyls using Grignard reagents
- ALL complex mechanism will be simplified into groups and necessary theory will be discussed.
