Page 2: Aromatic Compounds Reaction Pathways

The second page focuses on aromatic compound transformations, particularly benzene derivatives and their substitution reactions. The scheme shows various functional group interconversions and substitution patterns.

Definition: Aromatic compounds are organic compounds containing a planar ring of six carbon atoms with delocalized electrons.

Example: The bromination of benzene using Br₂/AlBr₃ as a catalyst demonstrates electrophilic aromatic substitution.

Highlight: The importance of catalysts $AlCl₃, FeBr₃$ in aromatic substitution reactions is emphasized through multiple reaction pathways.

Page 3: Phenol Reactions and Derivatives

The final page details specific reactions involving phenols and their derivatives, showcasing various substitution patterns and transformations.

Definition: Phenols are aromatic compounds containing a hydroxyl group $-OH$ directly attached to the aromatic ring.

Example: The bromination of phenol using Br₂ shows the high reactivity of phenols in electrophilic aromatic substitution.

Highlight: The formation of sodium phenoxide $O⁻Na⁺$ through reaction with NaOH demonstrates the acidic nature of phenols.

Vocabulary: Nitration - The process of introducing a nitro group $-NO₂$ into an organic compound using nitric acid.

Page 1: Aliphatic Compounds Reaction Pathways

This page presents a comprehensive reaction scheme showing the interconversion of aliphatic compounds. The diagram illustrates various synthetic routes between different functional groups including alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, and nitrogen-containing compounds.

Definition: Aliphatic compounds are organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen arranged in straight chains, branched chains, or non-aromatic rings.

Example: The conversion of an alcohol to an aldehyde using K₂Cr₂O₇/H₂SO₄ as an oxidizing agent.

Highlight: Multiple pathways exist for synthesizing amines, including reduction of nitriles and amides using H₂/Ni catalyst.

Vocabulary: Reflux - A technique where a solution is heated and the vapor condenses and returns to the reaction vessel.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
