Elucidating Organic Molecules
- Students should be able to identify organic functional groups and recall their properties and the reactions that they undergo
Properties of functional groups
- In addition to the functional groups mentioned in the AS course, students should also be familiar with additional functional groups and their properties including:
- Arenes
- Halogenoarenes
- Carboxylic acids (and derivatives)
- Phenols
- Amides
- Amino acids
- Acyl chlorides
Overview of additional functional groups and their properties
Reactions of functional groups
- Students should also be able to recall:
- The reactions by which these functional groups can be produced
- The reactions that these functional groups undergo
Reactions by which functional groups can be produced
