Aims
Building on Level 4 practical modules, the course will focus on more complex molecular/compound synthesis, thus entailing the use of chromatographic and spectroscopic analytical techniques.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Rationalise and demonstrate functional group interconversion.
2.
Demonstrate and explain the involvement of inorganic compounds in organic synthesis.
3.
Select the correct methods of analysis for organic and inorganic compounds and interpret the resulting data.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Carbonyl chemistry; heterocyclic chemistry; organometallic chemistry; chromatographic purification and analysis; structural elucidation; transition metal chemistry; kinetics and thermodynamics of chemical processes. Areas covered will include the synthesis and reactions of carbonyl, heterocyclic, organometallic compounds and metal complexes; physical measurements involving more complex kinetics.
Module Overview:
This module exposes you to intermediate synthetic approaches and compound analysis, building on work carried out in Level 4 practical modules. Work will include multi-step synthesis, based on reactions of the carbonyl group, and will introduce you to the facility of organometallic reagents and complexes in synthesis. You will also cover the industrially important area of heterocyclic synthesis, as well as methods regarding the physical measurement of kinetics and thermodynamics.
