- Description
- Using the knowledge from our organic chemistry lectures and labs, we synthesized methyl 3-nitrobenzoate using bromobenzene as our starting reagent through four synthetic steps. This project provided early exposure to synthetic organic chemistry, letting us apply our classroom knowledge to a real-world synthesis, and deepen our understanding.
