Samlæses med KE823

Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
KE505 Organic Chemistry must be passed.

Course introduction
The participants will become familiar with heterocyclic compounds and their importance in modern organic chemistry - including the synthesis of the most common heterocycles and their chemical properties.

Expected learning outcome
At the end of the course the student is expected to be able to:

• provide names for simple aliphatic and aromatic heterocycles
• use reaction mechanisms to predict the formation of selected heterocyclic compounds
• explain and account for the reactivity of selected heterocyclic compounds
• explain and discuss the applications of selected heterocyclic compounds in for example medicinal chemistry and supramolecular chemistry

Subject overview
Synthesis and chemical properties of heterocyclic compounds including pyrroles, furans, thiophenes, various five-membered heterocycles with several heteroatoms, pyridines, diazines and annulated heterocycles. Examples of applications of heterocycles in for example medicinal chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. General nomenclature of heterocyclic compounds.
