Department: Department of Organic Chemistry
Aim: To extend the students' knowledge of organic chemistry and to enable them to rationalize and predict chemical reactions. To give the student a general understanding of many chemical problems in biology and technology.
Contents: A more thorough discussion of reaction types known from 23110 Organic Chemistry 1, e.g. carbonium ion rearrangements, mechanism and stereochemistry of aliphatic nucleophilic substitution and addition and elimination reactions.
The uses of Carbanions in organic synthesis are expanded. Conformational analysis is presented and integrated into reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry. Spectroscopy is introduced to determine the structures (stereochemistry included) of organic compounds: NMR and IR (InfraRed spectroscopy). Polyfunctional molecules are frequently used as examples and chemical and structural properties of terpenes, steroids, carbohydrates, and amino acids are discussed.
