CHM1321/1721: π-bonds Nucleophiles and Electrophiles

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.
  • All students attending Review Session will receive "Midterm 2 Package" containing past uOttawa Professor midterms!
