New learning designs added as part of the iChem3D project funded by JISC. The new learning sequences are designed to guide users through the organic reactions step-by-step and the new self-assessment activities are designed to test the material covered. The pages with these additional features are in the 'Organic Reactions' section and are shown in italics/underlined
Organopalladium catalytic cycles for Carbonylative Kosugi-Migita-Stille Coupling Reaction, Carbonylation Of A Vinyl Bromide, Palladium-catalysed nucleophilic allylic substitution and The Suzuki Reaction added A Level Chemistry section added. This section is based on the AQA specifications and covers information on atomic orbitals and AS/A Level organic mechanisms |
