120 credits with 60 credits in chemistry including 15 credits in organic chemistry. Participation in Spectroscopy. Participation in NMR spectroscopy I (which can be taken in parallel to Organic chemistry III). In addition, basic knowledge and skills in laboratory safety, which will be tested via interview. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
This course deals with key reactions and concepts of organic chemistry on an advanced level. It will further teach the logic behind organic transformations and the rationalisation of reaction mechanisms and stereochemical outcomes. Important reaction classes such as radical reactions, carbonyl and enolate transformations, pericyclic reactions, addition and coupling reactions, and asymmetric transformations will be discussed. In the laboratory, advanced techniques, performing reactions under inert conditions, and multistep reactions will be taught, for example.
