CHM2120/2520: Midterm 1: SN and E Reactions, IR and H NMR Spectroscopy

Review Session Details
  • Flynn's Module 2 and Module 3 course material will be taught during this session. Lessons will be taught using Midterm problems.
  • Review how to make and react with epoxides
  • E2 mechanism and number of products
  • Drawing and understanding molecular orbitals for SN2/E2 reactions
  • Projecting SN2/E2 reactions in anti-periplanar (APP) reactive conformation
  • Strong versus weak nucleophiles
  • Differentiating between reactions: E1/SN1 vs. SN2/E2
  • How to read and extract information from IR spectra
  • 1H NMR concepts: chemical shift, equivalence, integration and multiplicity
  • How to distinguish molecules using 1H NMR
  • Learn to draw 1H NMR spectra from a organic molecule
  • Solving parts of structure with 1H NMR peak "patterns recognition"
  • Learn to correctly connect 1H NMR fragments together for final compound identification
