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

carbonyl alpha-substitution reactions, carbonyl condensation reactions, amines, heterocyclic compounds, pericyclic reactions, organic synthesis

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course will proceed in the following order: (1) carbonyl alpha-substitution reactions, (2) carbonyl condensation reactions, (3) amines and heterocyclic compounds, and (4) pericyclic reactions In the last day, practice problems and interpretation of them will be carried out to confirm the level of understanding.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
