Review Session Details
- Assessing π-bond electrophile reactivity (e.g., ketone, aldehyde versus ester)
- Ranking leaving groups for carbonyls
- Learn mechanisms 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.
- Learn to describe and justify how to manipulate an equilibrium to favour either products or reactants for carbonyl chemistry.
- All students that purchase this Review Session will receive "Midterm 2 Package" containing past uOttawa Professor midterms!
