CHEM1405 - Resources for Week 11
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Heterocyclic Compounds
predict whether a molecule is aromatic
identify the basic nitrogen atoms in heterocyclic compounds
identify tautomers and predict their structures
Shapes of Molecules: Stereochemistry
identify stereogenic centres in organic molecules
distinguish between different types of isomers, including enantiomers and diastereoisomers
use (R )- and (S )- descriptors to describe enantiomers and identify if a compound has (R )- or (S )- stereochemistry
predict the stereochemistry of compounds with two stereogenic centres
appreciate the role of chirality in nature and drug design
