CY5013 : Conceptual Organic Chemistry

To learn and apply various concepts such as stereochemistry and fundamental principles of stereoselectivity in organic chemistry. Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course, the learners should be able to: Comprehend and Predict the role of temperature, solvents, and catalysts in organic reactions Elucidate reaction mechanisms using isotope effects Identify and differentiate prochirality and chirality at centers, axis, planes and helices and determine the absolute configuration Evaluate the stability of various conformers of acyclic and cyclic systems using steric, electronic and stereoelectronic effects and correlate them to reactivity. Use various models for determining stereoselectivity of various organic transformations
