Aims
To explore the structure, bonding, functionality and reactions of organic molecules with specific reference to pharmaceutically important drugs and to develop in the student an ability to practise chemical laboratory skills and evaluate and communicate their findings.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Perform basic techniques within the chemistry laboratory, gather data, evaluate and communicate information within a scientific report.
2.
Recognise the bonding and bonding interactions of small molecular weight organic molecules, and biological molecules.
3.
Demonstrate a basic knowledge of pharmaceutically important molecules in terms of functional group chemistry, synthesis, stereochemistry and properties.
4.
Identify and reflect upon various aspects of personal development and self-awareness.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Keyskills: critical thinking, report writing, referencing, structure drawing; health and safety.
Basic lab skills: a series of practical to develop general lab skills.
Bonding and intermolecular bonding.
Bonding interactions in small molecular weight molecules and biological molecules.
Organic chemistry; functional groups, stereochemistry, materials, synthesis and mechanisms.
Introduction to pharmaceutically important low molecular weight drugs.
Module Overview:
This module enables you to explore the structure, bonding, functionality and reactions of organic molecules with specific reference to pharmaceutically important drugs. You will also develop your ability to practice chemical laboratory skills.
