Module code: CFS5017-B
This module will introduce you to how modern chemists control the stereochemistry of molecules that they synthesise.
Building on the organic chemistry you studied in stage 1, you will see how the reagents and conditions can be chosen to form single diastereoisomers of a desired product. You will be introduced to physical organic chemistry and will see how the reactivity of aromatic compounds can be explained from an orbital perspective. The importance of heterocyclic chemistry and its application in medicinal chemistry will be introduced. Finally, you will learn the tools of retrosynthetic analysis and will see its application to commercial products.
Your transferable skills you will continue to be developed in this module as you hone your scientific writing skills
and are introduced to the primary chemical literature and methods for effective access to information.
