Course content

The subject is an advanced course in organic chemistry emphazing the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds. The subject is suitable for Ms students in organic chemistry and related areas.

Learning outcome

After completion of the course you will

  • be familiar with the structures of important classes of heterocyclic aromatic organic compounds
  • be able to classify simple heterocyclic aromatic compounds as electron deficient or electron rich and explain their reactivity based on these properties ?
  • know how selected organometallic reactions can be applied in heterocyclic chemistry
  • be able to explain on a mechanistic level, reactions and synthesis of important electron deficient nitrogen containing heterocycles; pyridines, diazines and their benzo-condenced analogs ?
  • be able to explain on a mechanistic level, reactions and synthesis of important electron rich heterocycles; furans, pyrroles and thiophenes and 1,3-azoles, and benzo-condenced analogs
