A2 Chemistry: Organic Synthesis (OCR)

2 well structured chemistry lessons, plus a revision summary covering the Year 13 OCR topic of: Organic Synthesis. See below for the lesson objectives and resource description:

Lesson 1: Practical Skills in Organic Synthesis (Yr13)

1. To describe the techniques and procedures used for the purification of organic solids including:

• filtration under reduced pressure
• recrystallisation
• measurement of melting points

Lesson 2: Synthetic Routes in Organic Synthesis (Y13)

1. To identify individual functional groups for an organic molecule containing several functional groups
2. To predict the properties and reactions of organic molecules containing several functional groups
3. To create multi-stage synthetic routes for preparing organic compounds

Synthetic Routes Revision Summary

A 14 page summary of all the organic synthesis reactions from the AS and A level OCR Chemistry specification. Students will be able to use this resource directly as part of their revision on organic synthesis/synthetic routes or can make flashcards from them. Reagents and reaction conditions are also included where applicable

Reaction summaries include:

nucelophilic substitution reactions* elimination reactions* free radical substitution reactions* electrophilic addition reactions* oxidation reactions* reduction reactions* electrophilic substitution reactions* reactions of phenols* carbon-carbon formation reactions* reactions of carboxylic acids* reactions of acyl chlorides* polymerisation reactions* hydrolysis reactions* amine synthesis reactions*

Declaimer: Please refrain from purchasing this popular resource for an interview lesson or a formal observation. This is because planning your own lessons including using your own lesson PowerPoints is a fundamental skill of a qualified/unqualified teacher that will be reviewed during these scenarios outlined above
