Oxygen Containing Functional Groups

 

 

 

 

 

The students will be able to –

 

CO68: explain the methods of formation and reactivities of various type of aliphatic alcohols (monohydric, dihydric and trihydric) and phenols  

CO69: describe the formation and reactivities of ethers and epoxides

CO70: predict the relative reactivities of different carbonyl compounds (saturated and unsaturated aldehydes and ketones) and their syntheses.

CO71: interpret the mechanism in prescribed name reactions

CO72: understand the acidity and reactivity of active methylene groups

CO73: outline the synthesis of carboxylic acids and its derivatives and compare the relative acidities  of carboxylic acids, alcohols and phenols

CO74: analyze the factors of the relative acidities of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids by considering different stereoelectronic effects
