Learning outcomes
Because organic chemistry is a cumulative subject, organic chemistry II is the second part of a sequence designed to give students a more in-depth look at the fundamentals of synthesis, including mechanisms of organic reactions, retrosynthesis, organic synthesis and functional group manipulation.
Course contents
1. A short recall on Amines and aza-derivatives
2. Understanding Organic Reactions using Electron-Pushing or Arrow-Pushing
3. Structure and reactivity of alfa,beta-unsatured compound
4. Aldol reactions and enolate anions, including enol and enolate equivalents (enamines, silyl enol ethers , ecc )
5. Retrosynthetic analysis and protecting groups
6. Oxidation and Reduction Reactions
7. Heterocyclic compounds
8. Sulfur, phosphorus, boron, silicon, in organic synthesis
9. Radical reactions
10. Aminoacids
