The target of the course is the knowledge of the synthesis and reactivity of the main 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7-membered ring heterocyclic compounds.
Course Prerequisites
Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 with positive scores.
Teaching Methods
Lectures in class with active students involvement.
Assessment Methods
Oral exam.
Texts
Reference book will be suggested; supplementary material will be given, if necessary.
Contents
The course will provide students the tools necessary to know the main heterocyclic systems in order to rationalize and predict their reactivity. The first part of the course deals with the systematic nomenclature of heterocyclic compounds and then discusses the main synthetic strategies of saturated and unsaturated heterocyclic rings, with particular attention to the five- and six-membered rings. The second part of the course is devoted to the study of the reactivity of the main five- and six-membered rings (monocyclic and benzo-fused). It is finally briefly discussed the major heterocyclic rings with more than one hetero-atom. Throughout the course they will also frequently mentioned for their specific uses in organic synthesis, with emphasis on the applications in Medicinal Chemistry.
Course Language
