About this Unit

Building on first-year studies of the reactions of organic molecules, this unit will demonstrate how the mechanism of each reaction can affect the 3D outcome of the product. Reactions involving substitutions, additions, eliminations, radicals and acid/base chemistry will be examined in relation to common functional groups. The reaction of carbonyol compounds will be emphasised in relation to keto/enrol tautomerism., enol/ enolate chemistry and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. Aromaticity and the reactivity of aromatic compound will be explored. Particular emphasis will be placed on how substituents influence reactivity and regiochemistry. These skills will lead to the design of synthetic pathways to simple organic molecules. An introduction to organometallic chemistry: bonding, ligands.
