2120 – Final Exam-session 1 (A/B, SN/E and Ox rxn)

Review Session Details
  • Understand acid/base chemistry
  • Differentiate between nucleophiles and bases
  • Assess the strength of a negative charge (i.e. lone pairs on Nuc)
  • Learn and differentiate between E2, SN2, E1 and SN1 reactions
  • Affect of solvents on rates of SN an E reactions (using energy diagrams)
  • Alcohol oxidations with PCC and Jones reagent
  • Applying energy diagrams and transition states to questions
  • Drawing molecular orbitals for reaction mechanisms
  • Lots of exam-like questions from recent years to reinforce the above concepts!
