Aims
The module gives an introduction into key concepts of synthesis, properties and reactivity of organic molecules. This will be supplemented and contextualised by the introduction into the theory and application of analytical chemistry and spectral data interpretation applied to structure elucidation. Skills development in the area of data interpretation and reaction chemistry will be strengthened in workshops.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply the principles and practice of organic chemistry to the synthesis of heterocyclic and aromatic molecules.
2.
Demonstrate knowledge and application of the principles of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques.
3.
Utilise the principles of structure elucidation of unknown organic molecules for the interpretation of spectral data.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Topics linked to organic chemistry include simple heterocycles, medicinal molecules and simple drug action; synthesis and reactions of multiply bonded carbon (e.g. alkenes/alkynes and carbonyls); simple organometallics and aromatic chemistry. Topics linked to analytical chemistry with respect to spectral interpretation include gas chromatography GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy (UV/Vis), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and mass spectrometry (MS).
Module Overview:
This module introduces you to key concepts of synthesis, properties and reactivity in organic molecules. Every year on graduation we have many students gain employment with chemical and analytical sections in areas associated with forensic, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. With the help of workshops, this module is designed to introduce you to areas associated with chemical synthesis, analytical development and problem-solving via interpretation of chemical and analytical data.

Additional Information:Every year on graduation we have a large number of students gain employment within chemical and analytical sections in areas associated with forensic, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. With the help of workshops, this module is designed to provide an introduction to these areas associated with chemical synthesis, analytical development and problem-solving skills via interpretation of chemical and analytical data.
