ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
INTRODUCTION
To understand organic chemistry one must first familiarize oneself with the physical and chemical properties of different functional groups of organic compounds. Then there is a need to understand the reactivity of organic molecules by application of molecular orbital theory. These two passes for understanding organic Chemistry have been covered respectively in Organic chemistry I (Level II) and Organic Chemistry II (Level IV). Thus organic chemistry I is an Introductory course that focus on compounds, followed by a course on reaction mechanisms
Now our goals is to solidify the student‘s understanding of the concepts provided in the two first parts of organic chemistry and to fill in much more information and details about Aromaticity, Organometallic compounds, Concerted reactions, Functional group protection and an introduction to the Retrosynthesis.
Thus the four chapters in this Module are :
Chap. 1. AROMATICITY
Chap. 2. ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS
Chap. 3. FUNCTIONAL GROUP PROTECTION
Chap. 4. RETROSYNTHETIC ANALYSIS
