I got a 1st in my first year studying chemistry at the University of Birmingham using these revision notes that I have uploaded. They include detail on acidity, electron density and chemical reactivity, drawing reaction mechanisms, nucleophilic substitution reactions: the SN1 and SN2 reaction mechanisms and elimination reactions: the E1 and E2 reaction mechanisms. These summary notes also include worked examples as revision practice.

In this module you will be taking a
mechanistic approach to introductory
organic chemistry and learning about
the major types of reactivity at carbon
centres. The module will build on
previous modules such as ‘Language of
Chemistry’ and incorporate kinetics and
spectroscopy, where appropriate, to
build your understanding of reactivity at
both carbon sp3 and sp2 centres. By the
end of the module you will be able to
predict and rationalise the outcomes of
reactions at sp3 and sp2 centres,
