You are a junior technician working for Reckitt Benckiser at their
research and development base in Hull (UK). The products made
by this company include Vanish and Mr Sheen. Each year the
research laboratories invite a small group of ‘A’ level and ‘BTEC’
students in for two weeks of work experience. This year you have

accompanying handbook that will be used on the first day of the
student’s work experience. The purpose is to ensure the work
experience students have the basic knowledge they will need about
the structure, reactions and properties of carbonyl and non-
carbonyl organic compounds.
Using your lesson notes and research you have carried out into the
structure, reactions and properties of functional group compounds,
produce a leaflet on functional group chemistry.
The company wants you to prepare a leaflet detailing the typical
industrial reactions of non-carbonyl functional group compounds.
(the functional groups have been listed below)
Task Begin your leaflet by defining functional groups and their relevance
to reactivity of organic compounds.
Uses pictures and diagrams to illustrate your verbal
explanation of the content of your handbook.
Write sections of your leaflet handbook by functional group,
explaining how and why they react the way that they do, for the
following:
• Halogenoalkanes and their reactions (nucleophilic substitution
and elimination)
• Alcohols (primary, secondary and tertiary) and their reactions
(oxidation)
• Amines (primary, secondary and tertiary) and their reactions
(as bases and nucleophiles)
• Aldehydes and ketones and their reactions (oxidation &
reduction; nucleophilic addition and addition-elimination)
