ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 1
FINAL EXAM
Question: Please INDIVIDUALLY write a report (review) about one (01) of the reactions below and its
recent applications follow the format in pages 2-4.
-
Nucleophilic substitution 1 (SN1)
Nucleophilic substitution 2 (SN2)
Elimination 1 (E1)
Elimination 2 (E2)
Electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr)
Below is the link for reactions selection. Please fill it with your name at the end of 14/06/2021. The
selection will be based on “first come first serve” and no more than 5 (five) persons can pick a reaction.

Please submit your report in docx and pdf file on blackboard no later than 11:59pm 20/06/2021.
Instruction: An instruction video will be provided on Blackboard. The report should include but not limit
to:
- The mechanism of the reaction with the explanation of each reagents’ functions.
- Application of the reaction. You should include any other recent application of the reaction not in the
book.
Make sure you actually read the references and review all reactions, their mechanism and application,
the reaction conditions (procedure) and discuss about them (what is function of reagents? What is the
reason for choosing that conditions?).
Plagiarism will not be accepted and will be checked. A report with plagiarism will have 0 points.
Your grading will be based on:
-
English grammar: 10%
Format (follow the format in second page): 5%
Appearance (the way you organize and present the paragraphs) : 5%
Writing skills (Is it understandable?): 30%
Applications (what are they? And are they relevant to the topic?): 20%
Knowledge (how you discuss about the reaction and applications?): 30%
Good luck!

Please note: Abbreviations should be introduced at the first mention in the main text – no abbreviations lists.
Suggested structure of main text (not enforced) is provided below.
Introduction
This section should be the introduction of the reaction.
The Introduction section, of referenced text1 expands on the background of the work (some overlap with the
Abstract is acceptable). The introduction should not include subheadings.
Mechanism
Up to three levels of subheading are permitted. Subheadings should not be numbered.
Application
The Discussion should be succinct and must not contain subheadings.
Application 1: (essay) Hint:
- What is the application which the reaction was used?
- What is function of reagents?
- What is the reason for choosing that conditions?
- Is there any lesson learned from changing the reaction condition and from the reaction itself?
Application 2:
Methods
Topical subheadings are allowed. Authors must ensure that their Methods section includes adequate
experimental and characterization data necessary for others in the field to reproduce their work.
This section should be about the procedure of the reaction, how the reactions were conducted.
