NKEK22005U Heterocyclic Chemistry
MSc Programme in Medicinal Chemistry
MSc Programme in Chemistry with a minor subject
- Synthesis and reactivity of simple heteroaromatic compounds: pyridines, quinolines, diazines, pyrylium salts, pyrones, furans, thiophenes, indoles and different five-membered rings with two heteroatoms.
- Nomenclature in heterocyclic chemistry.
- Some applications of heterocyclic compounds.
Skills:
The student should be able to identify differences in reactivities
of heterocyclic compounds and be able to demonstrate how
heterocyclic compounds can be prepared from simple starting
materials. Moreover, the student should be able to name both
mono- and polycyclic heterocyclic compounds.
Knowledge:
Synthesis and reactivity of heterocyclic compounds. Particular
focus on pyridines, quinolines, diazines, pyrylium salts, pyrones,
furans, thiophenes, pyrrols, indoles, benzothiophenes, and
benzofurans.
Competences:
The student should be able to suggest syntheses of simple
heterocyclic compounds and explain the reactivity of heteroaromatic
compounds.
