Review Session Details
- Learn concept of alcohol oxidations using PCC and Jones reagents
- π-bond electrophile properties: molecular orbitals and reactivity
- Assessing reactivity of various π-bond electrophiles
- Ranking leaving groups for carbonyls
- Learn all mechanisms using four detailed mechanism to guide you to the right major product within all carbonyl and imine reactions
- Two detailed general mechanisms of π-bond electrophiles in basic conditions. This is a great method to learn multiple mechanism like the following reactions: Gringard reactions, NaBH4/LiAlH4 reductions, cyanohydrides, saponification, transesterification, amide formations, acid halide reactivity, anhydrides and more!
- Two detailed general mechanisms of π-bond electrophiles in acidic conditions. This is a great method to learn multiple mechanism like the following reactions: imine formation, hemi-acetal/hemi-ketal, acetal/ketal formations, transesterification, hydrolysis and amide formations.
- Where does the equilibrium favour for carbonyl reactions
- Understand how to do the above reactions in reverse mechanism
- Learn tricks to solve the mechanisms without drawing a full mechanism (tips and tricks from tutor)
- All students attending Review Session will receive "Midterm 1 Package" containing past uOttawa Professor midterms!
