Learning outcomes

Because organic chemistry is a cumulative subject, organic chemistry II is the second part of a sequence designed to give students a more in-depth look at the fundamentals of synthesis, including mechanisms of organic reactions, retrosynthesis and functional group manipulation. At the end of the course the student is able to understand the reactivity of the polyfunctional compounds as well as to choose appropriate methodologies for the use of protecting groups; to know oxidation and reduction reactions of organic molecules; the typical reactions of organic compounds bearing sulphur, phosphorus, boron and silicon. The student is able to analyze synthetic strategies of organic molecules of medium complexity.

Course contents

Below is a listing of the major topics to be covered in this course:

Understanding Organic Reactions using Electron-Pushing or Arrow-Pushing.
Introduction to the chemistry of radicals.
Heterocyclic compounds.
Oxidation and Reduction Reactions.
Aldol reactions and enolate anions, including enol and enolate equivalents (enamines, silyl enol ethers , ecc ).
Structure and reactivity of a,b-unsaturated compounds.
Retrosynthetic analysis and protecting groups.
Sulfur, phosphorus, boron, silicon, in organic synthesis.
Aminoacids and peptides.
