Course description:
This is an independent study course designed to act as an extension to
organic chemistry – II (chem. 352). Nitrogen heterocycles are unique class of compounds that contain
one of more nitrogen atoms as part of cyclic organic structures. They display a wide variety of chemical
properties and by itself are pursued as a separate subject in chemistry. The course will focus on
electronic and chemical properties and commonly used methods of heterocycle synthesis, and
applications.
Course competencies:
After the course student(s) will be knowledgeable about common
reactions employed to synthesize heterocycles, their electronic properties, and uses.
Topics:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
Nitrogen containing compounds
Influence of nitrogen on reactivity of organic compounds
Aromaticity and heteroatom aromatics
Preparation of nitrogen containing heterocycles
Reactions of nitrogeneous heterocycles
Applications
Grading:
We will be meeting once every week to plan course content and
direction of progress. You will be doing your independent study and research on aforementioned topics
and submitting reports updating me of knowledge gained in each topic. Report length and frequency
should conform to those required for writing-intensive courses.
