Functionalized Organic Compounds-I

(Carbon-Halogen and Carbon- Oxygen/Sulphur Bonds)

(Theory)

 

 

The students will be able to –

 

CO44: predict the products and stereochemistry of a nucleophilic substitution reaction/elimination reaction of an alkyl halide via different mechanisms SN1, SN2, E1 and E1 mechanism

CO45: predict and explain the effect of alkyl, vinyl, aryl and allyl substituents on nucleophilic substitution.

CO46: identify the effect of nucleophile, leaving group, substrate and solvent on both substitution and elimination reactions and predict the predominant product

CO47: understand the methods of formation and reactivities of various type of aliphatic alcohols (monohydric, dihydric and trihydric) and phenols

CO48: compare the difference in acidity of aliphatic alcohols and phenols
