SATL Based Lesson for Teaching Grignard Reagents in Synthetic Organic Chemistry

Abstract

Synthesizing new products from raw materials has been very popular aspects of research in organic chemistry. Traditionally, Grignard reagent has been very vital component of such synthetic procedures. Hence learning of various issues concerning with applications of Grignard reactions in synthetic organic chemistry is vital for enhancing the students creative capability. In this paper we will illustrate the uses of SATL methodology, which is recently getting popular [1- 3], in an SATL-based model lesson concerning teaching and learning of synthetic organic reactions related to Grignard reagents.
