the techniques and procedures used for the preparation and purification of organic solids involving use of a range of techniques (see also 4.2.3a) including:
(i) organic preparation
(ii) purification of an organic solid
PAG6
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 4.2.3b).
multi-stage synthetic routes for preparing organic compounds.
*Learners will be expected to be able to devise multi-stage 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. *
