Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] In this course, carbonyl alpha-substitution and carbonyl condensation that are quite important for construction of complex molecular skeletons will be explained. Also amines and heterocyclic compounds will be explained to understand the particular properties of heteroatom-containing compounds. Furthermore, pericyclic reactions are discussed.
[Aim of the course] Property of the alpha-positioned hydrogen plays an important role in construction of complex molecular structures. In this course, students learn the character and reaction mechanisms of enols and enolate ions, and acquire the ability to design carbon-carbon bond formations. Also students understand amines and heterocyclic structures that are contained in many useful compounds. Furthermore, students can explain reactions controlled by molecular orbitals.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students acquire the following ability:
(1) Explain the formation and properties of enols and enolate ions.
(2) Explain carbonyl alpha-substitution and condensation, and suggest plans to synthesize the desired compounds.
(3) Explain the properties of amines, and utilize for various reactions.
(4) Explain the structure and properties of heterocyclic compounds, and explain the synthesis and reactions.
(5) Explain reactions with molecular orbitals.

Keywords
