IB Chemistry SL 3.2.10 Reduction of organic functional groups
IB Chemistry SL 3.2.10 Reduction of organic functional groups
Students practise identifying reduction products of aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids, including LiAlH4 reduction pathways.
How this is tested
- identify compounds that reduce to aldehydes, primary alcohols, or secondary alcohols
- deduce organic products formed when carboxylic acids or carbonyls are reduced
- recognize LiAlH4 reduction of aldehydes to primary alcohols
