Chapter 13 Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes are summarized lists of the main ideas/skills that students should take away from a chapter. “Learning Outcomes” lists are not exhaustive; there may be other ideas/skills covered in the chapter that are also useful but not necessarily the main focus.
For Chapter 13 the Learning Outcomes are:
1. Understand and be able to rank the relative reactivity for different carbonyl-containing functional groups.
2. Predict the products, required reagents, and draw the proposed mechanisms of the substitution of oxygen and nitrogen nucleophiles to different carbonyl-containing functional groups.
3. Predict the products, required reagents and draw the proposed mechanism of the Fischer esterification reaction.
4. Understand the role of thionyl chloride (SOCl2) and DCC in reactions with carboxylic acid.
5. Predict the products, required reagents, and draw the proposed mechanisms for the addition of hydride to different carbonyl-containing functional groups using NaBH3CN, NaBH4 and LiAlH4.
6. Predict the products, required reagents, and draw the proposed mechanisms for organometallic reagents’ reactions with different carbonyl-containing functional groups using Grignard and organolithium reagents.
