Advanced Organic Chemistry I

(Pre-requisites: CHM 321 and CHM 322)

Stereochemistry: Further treatment of cyclic compounds, allones and spiranes; optical activity of diphenyl and conformational analysis with emphasis on stabilities of isomers, rates and course of reaction in acyclic, cyclic and fused ring system. Reaction mechanisms: Treatment of NGP and molecular rearrangements, generation and reactions of carbenes, nitrenes and bezynes: Physical methods in organic chemistry: The applications of UV; IR, NMR and Mass spectra in the elucidation of structure of organic compounds.
