6.2.5 (b,c) Organic Synthesis

(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). }

(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.}

This is a matter of putting together what you have learned so far.

So, on the bright side, there's nothing new to learn.

But you need a really good knowledge of the synthetic pathways and be able to complete the reagents for the below;
