We’ll cover how esters are made and hydrolysed under different conditions. You’ll work through synthesis-style questions and practise explaining mechanisms clearly to gain full marks in exam answers.
This session explores the high reactivity of acyl chlorides and their reactions with water, alcohols, ammonia, and amines. You’ll practise drawing mechanisms, linking reactions, and tackling exam-style problems.
This session focuses on the structure, basicity, and reactions of amines. We’ll also practise their role in organic synthesis pathways, linking them back to other topics through exam-style application.
We’ll explore amino acids, their zwitterion structure, reactions, and behaviour as amphoteric compounds. You’ll also practise exam questions involving peptides and protein structures to build strong exam technique.
