Study Notes
Organic Chemistry Unit 4 - Revision Guide
- This revision guide covers GCE A Level WJEC Chemistry Unit 4, Organic Chemistry and Analysis.
- It's intended as a supplementary resource and may not cover every aspect of the specification.
- The guide includes content on topics like stereoisomerism, aromaticity, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, amino acids, peptides, proteins, organic synthesis, and analysis.
- Specific sections cover topics like stereoisomerism (E/Z isomers), optical isomerism, aromaticity (benzene structure and reactions like nitration and halogenation), alcohols (primary, secondary, tertiary), making alcohols, reactions of alcohols, carboxylic acids (acidity and oxidation reactions), alkylbenzenes, phenol's acidity and reaction with bromine, amines (formation and types), and amide and nitrile formation, reaction, and hydrolysis.
- The guide also mentions different tests for the identification of different organic compounds, including tests for carbonyl compounds, such as the Tollens' and Fehling's tests, and the iodoform test, hydrolysis reactions, and separation techniques like chromatography (paper, thin-layer, gas), distillation, and crystallization.
- Formation and reactions of esters and polyesters are addressed, as well as methods for making carboxylic acids.
- This guide includes practical details, including reaction conditions, reagents used, and observed changes during experiments on organic synthesis and analysis.
