CHM301 - Pre-Quiz Review

For quiz on Friday (19.08.2011), pls focus on the following topics:

- nomenclature for carboxylic acids (convert name to structure)

- carboxylic acid properties (boiling point and acidity)

- reactions: Grignard reagent carboxylation, oxidation, salt formation and nucleophilic substitution.

Some of the questions have been reviewed during our previous meeting.
