Aims |
|
The aim of this module is to further broaden and extend the students' knowledge of modern Organic Chemistry, so that they will be able to enter directly into a PhD programme or embark on a career as a specialist chemist. Specifically, students will learn the concepts that enable stereo control in reactions and the fundamental disconnections in organic synthesis. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) Ability to understand and design strategies that enable the synthesis of complex organic molecules in a stereocontrolled fashion. |
|
(S1) Critical thinking and problem-solving |
|
(S2) critical analysis of experimental results |
Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
This module will be delivered in-person. 20 timetabled sessions will cover lecture material, supporting tutorial sessions and revision sessions |
Syllabus |
|
Asymmetric synthesis by cyclic control, reactions of endocyclic olefins. |
