6.2.5 Organic synthesis
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 functional groups encountered in Module 6 (see also 4.2.3 b). HSW3 Development of synthetic routes. (c) multi-stage synthetic routes for preparing organic compounds. Learners will be expected to be able to devise multistage synthetic routes by applying transformations between all functional groups studied throughout the specification. Extra information may be provided on exam papers to extend the learner’s toolkit of organic reactions. HSW3 Development of synthetic routes
