Topics in Organic Reactions:
A course in advanced organic chemistry intented for students who have had the
standard undergraduate organic and physical chemistry courses .The organization
is based on reaction types, so the student can be shown that despite
the large number of organic reactions , a relatively few principles
suffice to explain nearly all of them. Accordingly, the course is divided
into the following reactions / mechanisms : Aliphatic Nucleophilic Substitution
, Aromatic Nucleophilic Substitution , Aliphatic Electrophilic
Substitution , Aromatic Electrophilic Substitution , Free Radical
Substitution , Addition to C-C and C-Hetero multiple bonds, Elimination
Reactions, Rearrangements and Oxidations and Reductions. |

outcome are discussed. A brief introduction in Huckel MO theory
is presented at the beginning of this course to familiarize
the student with the subject. |
2509
(1) |
Advanced Heterocyclic Chemistry:
The aim of this course is to present a unified account of fundamental heterocyclic chemistry on an advanced
level in order to give better and broader understanding of this important
part of chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the correlation between the
chemical reactivity of various heterocyclic ring systems. Synthesis
of heterocyclic compounds using the disconnection approach
and the biological significance of some heterocyclic systems are included. |
