Taxol is a drug that is commonly used to treat several different forms of cancer.
Taxol naturally occurs in yew trees but is now commonly synthetically produced.
Applications and skills:
Explanation of how taxol (paclitaxel) is obtained and used as a chemotherapeutic  agent.
D.7 Chiral auxiliaries 
Understandings:
A chiral auxiliary is an optically active substance that is temporarily incorporated into an organic synthesis so that it can be carried out asymmetrically with the selective formation of a single enantiomer.
Applications and skills:
​Description of the use of chiral auxiliaries to form the desired enantiomer.
Explanation of the use of a polarimeter to identify enantiomers.
D.8 Radiotherapy 
Understandings:
Radiotherapy can be internal and/or external.

D.9 Breath alcohol testing devices 
Understandings:
The presence of alcohol in a sample of breath can be detected through the use of either a redox reaction or a fuel cell type of breathalyser.
Applications and skills:
​Explanation of how alcohol can be detected with the use of a breathalyser.
D.9 Extraction and purification of organic products
Applications and skills:
Description of the process of extraction and purification of an organic product.
