This topic covers various aspects of organic chemistry at an honours level. The material delivered will be from a list of various subjects including advanced NMR spectroscopy, stereoselective synthesis, pericyclic reactions, radical chemistry, protecting group strategies and reterosynthetic analysis.

The aim of this topic is to provide students with an in depth knowledge of organic chemistry at an honours level. This knowledge will allow the students to undertake and understand the most rigorous of organic chemistry reactions, and in the case of NMR spectroscopy, thoroughly characterise the resultant compounds.

At the completion of this topic, students are expected to be able to:

Demonstrate an advanced understanding of organic reactions
Predict and rationalise mechanistically the products from a variety of chemical reaction conditions
Operate at an advanced level an NMR spectrometer and use this instrument to solve the chemical structure of an unknown compound
Evaluate and present results from practical work in written form
