Nuffield Advanced Chemistry: Ethanol and Other Alcohols
This Nuffield Advanced Chemistry programmed text was devised as an introduction to organic chemistry. It was offered as an alternative treatment to part of Topic 9 of the basic course. The optional work in Part two of the programme includes useful background work for parts of Topic 13, and elementary ideas on reaction mechanism.
The programme aimed at a full integration of practical and theoretical work. It used alcohols and related compounds to illustrate how one might set about investigating systematically the reactions of a class of compounds, especially the effect of overall molecular structure on functional group reactivity.
