Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Organic Chemistry, MasterIntended learning outcomes
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.
Course content
Detailed survey on some central organic reaction mechanisms, giving knowledge on the effect of structure and reaction media on reactivity. Methods to study chemical reaction mechanisms. Symmetry-controlled reactions and reactions with reactive intermediates.
Teaching and working methods
The theory is taught in lectures, lessons and laboratory work.
