Unit Description

Stereochemistry of aliphatic compounds; synthesis and reactivity of selected multifunctional compounds with particular reference to conjugated dienes and polyenes, dicarbonyl compounds and biologically important substances such as amino acids and carbohydrates; structure, properties and selected syntheses of functionalised aromatic compounds, particularly those which display biological activity; introduction to heterocyclic aromatic compounds with particular reference to their important role in biology; structure and properties of DNA bases and function of DNA. Introduction to spectroscopic methods appropriate to structural elucidation of organic compounds such as proton nuclear magnetic resonance, uv-visible, and infrared spectroscopies. CHEM 204A has additional topics in several areas and a higher level and degree of difficulty in assessment tasks.
