Organic Synthesis Flashcards
1
Q
Organic synthesis
A
Preparation of complex molecules
Can make new structures
2
Q
Identify functional groups in organic molecules
A
Use displayed formula, find functional groups
3
Q
Predicting properties and reactions
A
Identify functional groups, predict properties and reactions
Suggest reactions of structure based on what each functional group reacts with and solubility
4
Q
Target molecules
A
Describe compound that chemist tries to prepare by organic synthesis
Obtained by reacting readily available starting material with readily available reagent
Many steps needed
5
Q
2 stage synthesis
A
Identify functional groups in starting and target molecule
Identify intermediate that links 2
State reagents and conditions for each step
