3 Synthetic routes

Synthetic routes (b) for an organic molecule containing several functional groups: (i) identification of individual functional groups (ii) prediction of properties and reactions Learners will be expected to identify the functional groups encountered in Module 4. HSW3 Development of synthetic routes. (c) two-stage synthetic routes for preparing organic compounds. Learners will be expected to be able to devise twostage synthetic routes by applying transformations between all functional groups encountered up to this point of the specification. Extra information may be provided on exam papers to extend the learner’s toolkit of organic reactions. HSW3 Development of synthetic routes.
