Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
This module consists of 35 50-minute lectures in the first semester. The material presented at the lectures is supported by 5 1-hour tutorials given fortnightly. |
Syllabus |
|
Organic synthesis and reactions (20 lectures + revision lecture) - Pericyclic reactions 1: cycloadditions. The rules that govern cycloadditions. Photochemical reactions: reactions that need light. Making six-membered rings by the Diels–Alder reaction. Making four-membered rings by [2 + 2] cycloaddition. Making five-membered rings by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Using cycloaddition to functionalize double bonds stereospecifically. Using ozone to break C=C double bonds. Physical organic chemistry (13 lectures+revision lecture) - Equilibria, transition states and rates: Free energy diagrams, transition states, connection between equilibrium and rate constants, K = k1/k-1, Hammond’s postulate, thermodynamic vs kinetic control, Curtin-Hammett. |
