Aim:
The course is a continuation in organic chemistry and has the intention to give the student a profound knowledge in molecular structure, chemical bonding, quantum chemistry etc. This knowledge is applied in chemical reaction mechanisms and in spectroscopic methods.
After studies well learned the student will have proficiency in:
- understanding physical-organic relationship between structure and reactivity
- identifying intermediate structures and explaining reaction procedures and mechanisms
- evaluating experimental tools to obtain information to confirm or reject a reaction mechanism
- explaining pericyclic reactions, rearrangements, radical and carben reactions.
- analysing laboratory obtained data from reactions and structures from given instructions with NMR and basic computer modelling.
