Organic Reactions: classification, types of reagents, types of reaction mechanisms. Thermodynamic and kinetic features of organic reactions. Kinetic and thermodynamic control. Reaction intermediates. |
Unit 2. Stereoisomerism | Nomenclature, properties and isomerism of alkanes. Constitutional isomerism and stereoisomerism. Conformational isomerism: conformational analysis of alkanes and cycloalkanes, Newman projections. Optical isomerism, chirality and symmetry. Enantiomers and diastereoisomers: nomenclature, Fischer projections. Resolution of racemic mixtures. |
Unit 3. NMR Spectroscopy | Basic principles of the NMR. Most important nuclei in Organic Chemistry. Chemical shift, Spin-spin coupling: N+1 rule. Identification of functional groups by NMR. |
