Review Session Details
- Assessing π-bond electrophile reactivity (e.g., ketone, aldehyde versus ester)
- Ranking leaving groups for carbonyls
- Four general mechanism for π-bond electrophiles in basic and acidic conditions.
- The general mechanism above will cover the following reactions: Gringard reactions, NaBH4/LiAlH4 reductions, cyanohydrides, saponification, transesterification, amide formation, imines, acetals, transesterification, hydrolysis and amide formations.
- Where does the equilibrium favour for carbonyl reactions
- Mechanism and what is reductive amination
- All students that purchase this Review Session will receive "Midterm 2 Package" containing past uOttawa Professor midterms!
