Knowledge and understanding of:
• the principles of organic chemical reactivity, its measurement and the mechanisms of biological reactions;
• the different types of pericylic reactions and the range of reactivity that can be measured by kinetic and other mechanistics investigation;
• the different types of nitrogen functionality and how their structure leads to different types of chemistry including bonding concepts using the valence bond model and basicity;
• the formation of amines, imines and enamines; their various rearrangements and cycloaddition reactions and a review of amino protection;
• modern synthesis technologies such as microwave and flow chemistry, immobilised reagents, catalysts and scavengers.• sustainable chemical processes that improve on current practices and the integration of flow chemistry for the synthesis of drug-like target structures.
The student taking this Module will also be able to critically review some relevant literature
