We’ll cover the key reactions of alcohols, including oxidation and substitution, and look closely at their mechanisms. You’ll also practise past-paper questions to strengthen exam technique and avoid common pitfalls.
This session focuses on spectroscopy (IR, MS, NMR) to identify unknown compounds. We’ll then move on to multi-step organic synthesis, practising how to link reactions together and approach exam-style synthesis questions with confidence.
We’ll explore aldehydes and ketones in detail, covering their reactions (oxidation, reduction, nucleophilic addition) and chemical tests. You’ll practise exam questions to apply these mechanisms and sharpen your problem-solving skills.
