Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course students will be able to:
- Show how the reactivity of heteroaromatic compounds is determined by the electronic effects of the heteroatom(s), and hence predict the reactivity of related structures.
- Suggest synthetic routes to a range of 5- and 6-membered heterocyclic compounds via classical and modern methods.
- Understand the generation, detection and structure of important classes of neutral reactive intermediates, and know how they can be used in organic synthesis.
- Understand the factors which govern the structural chemistry of the main group elements.
- Explain the electronic properties of the 2nd and 3rd row transition metals and how these properties influence the chemistry of these elements.
- Predict the shape of an organic molecule in three dimensions, and understand how the alignment of orbitals within a molecule controls reactivity.
