Course objectives
The difference between oxygen containg compounds on one side and sulphur and selenium compounds on the other and the reason for that behaviour is the main reason of this course.
Syllabus
  • Lessons: Some fundamental aspects of Sulfur and Selenium Chemistry: Lessons are divided into four main parts. - The first one deals with the main families of sulfur reagents and their general properties. We will focus on thiols, sulfides, disulfides and dithiooacetals - The second part will be devoted to syntheses and applications of sulfoxides in organic chemistry (metallation, Pummerer reaction, sigmatropic rearrangments, ….). - The third one deals with syntheses of sulfones and few aspects of their reactivity (especially the formation of C-C bonds). - The last part will present selenium reagents and their main transformations (cationic, anionic and radical pathways).
