Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] This course focuses on the basics of stereochemistry, pericyclic reactions, photochromic molecules, photoreactions in cavities, and solid-state photoreactions.
[Aim of the course] The aim of this course is to systematically study the frontiers of modern organic chemistry and acquire the basics, while relating it to the basics of organic chemistry learned in the undergraduate course. The topics cover a wide range of knowledges from the basics of structures and reactions to their synthetic strategies.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to explain (1) stereoelectronic effects, (2) pericyclic reactions, (3) molecular topologies, (4) photochromic molecules, (5) photoreactions in organic and coordination cavities, and (5) solid-state photoreactions.

Keywords

Stereoelectronic effect, Pericyclic reaction, Molecular topology, Photoreaction, Photochromic molecule, Cavity, Solid-state photoreaction

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

Lectures will be given in the following order: (1) stereoelectronic effects, (2) pericyclic reactions, (3) molecular topologies, (4) photochromic molecules, (5) photoreactions in cavities, and (6) solid-state photoreactions. Students' understanding will be checked by a quiz or question-and-answer in each topic.

They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

None required.

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Handouts will be distributed.

Assessment criteria and methods

Course scores are based on quizes or question-and-answer (50%) and exams (50%).
