Withdrawal dates explained for more information).
This unit extends the basic understanding of organic chemistry and chemical reactivity to introduce more advanced chemical reactions and the concept of rational synthetic design. Topics that will be included are selected from: the chemistry of reactive intermediates, pericyclic reactions, heterocyclic chemistry, protecting group chemistry, metal mediated reactions for C-C bond formation, and the use of retrosynthetic analysis in the design of multi-step chemical syntheses. The laboratory program is closely associated with the lecture material and introduces techniques and instrumentation that are used in modern synthetic chemistry laboratories.
Students who would like to do this unit but have a timetable problem with lectures, tutorials or laboratory work should consult the unit coordinator.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle, P Beauty Point. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Y Hong Kong.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, K, Q and Y click here for more information.
