AS Chemistry – Types of reaction and photochlorination
Looking at functional groups to identify reaction types and focusing mechanism of photochlorination
- drawing mechanisms for Nucleophilic substation
- photochlorination of an alkane
- explaining the polymerisation of alkenes
- electrophilic addition of alkenes including with bromine and using the Markovnikov rule to identify the main product from the electrophilic addition of HBr
- understanding the meaning of an elimination reaction and how to spot them
- oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols using reflux and side arm distillation
- knowing how to form an aldehyde/ketone/carboxylic acid from alcohols
