Course objectives
Content of the subject is a logical extension of introductory classes Organic Chemistry I (C2021) and Organic Chemistry II (C3050). The major goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of modern synthetic methods routinely used in laboratories and even in industry.
Syllabus
  • 1.General terms and principles. Summary of the important facts from other subjects.Hammond, Curtin-Hammett principle, principle of mikroscopic reversibility, Baldwin's rules, kinetic and thermodynamic course of reactions, factors influencing selectivity of the reactions. Application of these terms in organic synthesis. 2.Enolate chemistry. Enolate preparation and selectivity of their formation. Various methods of the enolate preparation. Usage of enolates in organic synthesis. Stereoselective reactions of enolates. 3.Enolate chemistry. Aldol reaction, Claisen reaction. Stereoselective reaction. Double stereodifferentiation. Wittig and Petersen reaction. Chemistry of sulfur ylides. Corey-Tchaykovsky reaction. 4.Selective nucleophilic additions to carbonyl group. Cram, Karabatsos, Felkin-Ahn and Heathcock models. 5.Interconversions of functional groups. 6.Interconversions of functional groups. Mitsunobu, Eschenmoser reactions, hydroborations. Iodolactonization. 7.Oxidation. Swern, Dess-Martin, Oppenauer, Sharpless and Jacobsen oxidation. Synthetic application.
