All AQA AS Organic Chemistry Notes

These are my notes for isomerism. This only includes structural and stereoisomerism, and NOT optical isomerism, as that is covered in A2 Chemistry.

These are my AQA AS chemistry notes on naming organic compounds. This only applies to branched hydrocarbons, halogenoalkanes, alkenes and alcohols. This does not apply to aromatic compounds, amines or any derivatives covered in A2.

These are my notes on fractional distillation of crude oil. This only applies to crude oil and not the topic on alcohols, or making aspirin in A2.

These are my notes on cracking hydrocarbons, to produce alkenes, aromatic compounds and smaller alkanes.

These are my notes on combustion of alkanes, covered in the alkanes module of AS AQA organic chemistry.

A general overview of alkanes, their general formula, drawing alkanes, isomerism displayed in alkanes, and cycloalkanes.

An overview of the free radical substitution of alkanes to produce halogenoalkanes. Including intitiation, propogation and termination steps.

This is my notes on ozone depletion, covered in the topic on halogenoalkanes. This includes the equations for conversion of ozone into oxygen, and how a chlorine radical acts as a catalyst.

My notes on halogenoalkanes, including naming, nucleophilic substitution with hydroxide, cyanide and ammonia. This also includes the elimination reaction of halogenoalkanes with hydroxide ions, and how they act as a base.

This includes alkenes, electrophiles, electrophilic addition reactions with bromine, hydrogen bromide and sulfuric acid. This also includes Markownikoffs rule for electrophilic addition to unsymmetrical alkenes, and formation of minor and major products.

This is my notes on alcohols. This includes classification, oxidation of alcohols, dehydration of alcohols, distillation and reflux, production of ethanol, fermentation and hydration of ethene.

These are my notes on organic analysis, including test tube reactions for aldehyde, ketone, alcohol, carboxylic acid and alkenes. This also includes mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy.
