Acyl chlorides Study guides, Revision notes & Summaries

A level chemistry exams will often require you to describe a chemical test, in which you will need to be able to identify the reagent required, the observations and the species produced. This document provides a summary of these reactions, along with the aforementioned details. Having these details committed to memory will greatly benefit your ability to answer questions of this style, and allow you to secure marks quickly. The chemical tests included here are: tests for cations (group 2 ions, g...

Contains: • Halogenoalkanes and their reactions (nucleophilic substitution and elimination) • Alcohols (primary, secondary and tertiary) and their reactions (oxidation) • Aldehydes and ketones and their reactions (oxidation & reduction; nucleophilic addition and addition-elimination) • Carboxylic acids and their reactions (as acids; addition- elimination to form esters) • Acyl chlorides, acid anhydrides and amides, and their reactions The following reaction mechanism types: ...

It's the first assignment for unit 14. It's long, took me ages to do, but ended up having over 200 images (my tutor said she wanted lots of images), 65 pages and over 12k words. It'll definitely give you a distinction.

In this assignment, I have achieved a distinction grade. It is a very largely detailed assignment work with a total of 25 pages and near over 4000 words with pictures and diagrams. I covered a wide range of organic chemistry topics as well as discussing and displaying reaction mechanisms and multi-step synthesis drawings of the reactions. I have organized the assignment well with each criteria is on top of the written word.

This summary sheet provides a detailed revision of Carbonyls and Carboxylic Acids, taken from Chapter 26 of the OCR A-Level Chemistry textbook, although the material is applicable to any exam board. This revision sheet consists of a concise and clear summary of the Aldehydes and Ketones, including: their oxidation and reduction reactions, and testing using Tollens' Reagent. This is followed by the reactions and relevant tests for Carboxylic Acids, Esterification, the Hydrolysis of an Ester w...
