(H1) Reactions & Synthesis Comprehensive Course Content Weeks 1-6

Description

Weeks 1-6 of Chemistry: Structure & Properties for this key subject in the Chemistry major. I've written comprehensive summaries of all the lecture and tutorial content that I used for exam revision and to recap after each lecture. They're based upon any "Learning Outcomes" provided and covered all the material for 2025. The topics covered are: 1. Tautomerism and key reactions 2. Hell-Volhardt-Zelinsky Reaction, alpha-Alkylation of enolates, haloacid applications, aldol reactions, Claisen and Diekmann condensations. 3. Malonate Diester, Acetoacetate, Michael and Mannich Reactions 4. Stereochemistry and reactions of sugars (with full Fischer Proof) 5. Thermodynamics (Enthalpy & Entropy of Lattice Compounds), stability of carbonates and oxides, Born-Haber Cycle. 6. Ellington, Pourbaix, Lattimer and Frost Diagrams
