KE506: Synthesis
Comment
If there are vacant seats and more students registered, they will be assigned after:
- Graduate students of medicinal chemistry.
- Students who have passed the course KE505.
Entry requirements
Academic preconditions
Students who attend the course are expected to
- have knowledge of general chemistry and systematic organic chemistry including organic structure and reactions.
- be able to apply organic reaction mechanisms
- have practical experience with laboratory work including basic organic synthesis and general laboratory safety in a synthesis laboratory.
Participant limit
Course introduction
The course is based primarily on the skills acquired in the second year course KE505 or equivalent with a systematic treatment of organic chemistry. The course is based on the fact that the students are in the third or fourth year of studies for a degree in chemistry, nanobioscience, pharmacy, or chemical engineering, so that they can relate the course to other disciplines in chemistry, for example spectroscopy, chemical engineering, physical chemistry, or inorganic chemistry.
In relation to the education competence profiles, the course has a particular focus on expanding and improving the experimental basis for chemical synthesis including the handling of safety aspects in an organic synthesis laboratory.
Expected learning outcome
- relate theoretical knowledge of organic reactions and reaction mechanisms to carry out practical organic synthesis
- carry out synthesis
- carry out limited multi-step syntheses
- carry out synthesis under an inert atmosphere
- describe and use different purification techniques
- determine the purity of the compounds synthesized using analytical and spectroscopic methods
- conduct literature searches in Reaxys
- explain and apply safe behavior in a synthetic laboratory
Content
- Precautions against accidents in the laboratory
- Secure behavior in a synthetic laboratory
- Literature search in Reaxys
- Planning of synthetic work
- Different unit operations used in a synthetic laboratory
- Preparation of selected organic and inorganic compounds
- Safe behavior in a synthetic laboratory
