Organic and Biological Chemistry A - CBMS703
This unit starts with an overview of protecting group chemistry and moves on to the chemistry of amino acids, peptides and proteins. The next section is a detailed treatment of rearrangement reactions, which means reactions where an atom or group of atoms migrates (with or without the bonding electron pair) to another atom in the same molecule. The last part of the unit builds on the spectroscopic identification of organic compounds covered in undergraduate courses and involves advanced UV, IR, MS and NMR spectroscopy, with an emphasis on modern two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy in the structure elucidation of organic compounds and natural products. The laboratory program aims to teach advanced synthetic skills and the theoretical component is covered by a number of computational workshops where cutting edge molecular modelling software and ab initio computational packages are utilised.
