Course objectives
During the course the students are acquainted with chemistry of hydrocarbons derivatives, their structure assessment and reactivity of different functional groups, their influence upon the hydrocarbon skeleton and the opposite influence of these different skeletons upon the functional group. In an overview students are informed about such complex molecules like saccharides, steroids and heterocyclic compounds. The main aim of the course is understand the structure of the single functional groups and their behaviour in dependence upon character of the hydrocarbon skeleton with the target to evaluate the chemical properties of complex molecules.
Syllabus
  • Organic Chemistry II 1. Alkenes and alkynes. Reactivity of the nucleophilic alkenes (Organic Chemistry I). Addition of electrophiles onto alkenes and alkynes: halogenations, hydration, epoxidation, hydroboration, dihydroxylation, hydrogenation. Radical additions. Carbocation rearrangements. Preparation of alkenes and alkynes. 2. Alcohols, Thiols, Amines and their derivatives. Acidity and basicity. Nucleophilicity. Substitution / elimination and the role of leaving group (Organic Chemistry I). Preparation of alcohols (hydration, hydroboration, reduction of carbonyl compounds). Conversion of hydroxyl group into good leaving groups (halides, sulfonates) – application in substitution and elimination reactions. Amines as common organic bases. Preparation of amines (alkylation, reductive amination). Conversion of amino group into quarternary ammonium salts and N-oxides. Preparation of thiols and their oxidation to sulfoxides and sulfones. Ethers and epoxides – preparation and reactivity. Oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds. 3. Aldehydes and ketones. Addition to the carbonyl group (Organic Chemistry I). Irreversible addition reactions. Organolithium and organomagnesium reagents and formation of C-C bonds. Reversible addition reactions with alcohols (hemiacetals, acetals) and amines (imines, enamines). Protecting groups. Reductive amination and Wittig reaction. 4. Enols and enolates. Keto-enol tautomerism (Organic Chemistry I). Contrast with reactivity of carbonyl group and similarities with reactivity of alkenes. Halogenation, alkylation, aldol reaction, and Mannich reaction. Synthetic equivalents of enols and enolates (enamines, enol ethers). 1,2- versus 1,4-addition. 5.Carboxylic acid derivatives. Substitution at the carbonyl group (Organic Chemistry I). Preparation of and conversion between the individual derivatives (acid chlorides, anhydrides, esters, amides). Chemoselectivity. Extension of the enolate chemistry: Claisen condensation. Common features of rearrangements: Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, Schmidt rearrangement, Curtius rearrangement, Beckmann rearrangement. 6. Aromatic compounds. Aromaticity, electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution, and substituent effects (Organic Chemistry I). Synthetic strategies for preparation of polysubstituted aromatic rings. 7. Dienes and polyenes. Conjugation and delocalization (Organic Chemistry I). Pericyclic reactions (Diels-Alder reaction, electrocyclizations, sigmatropic rearrangements). Power of transition metal chemistry: preparation of alkenes and dienes (cross-couplings, olefin metathesis). 8. Alkanes and carbenes. Radical substitution. Preparation and reactivity of carbenes: cyclopropanation and insertion into C-H bonds. 9. Organic molecules as building blocks of biological systems.

Teaching methods
lectures with a demontration of the taught topic on chosen examples
Assessment methods
The course is represented by a set of lectures and seminars where various phenomena are demonstrated on chosen examples. During the semestr 3 written tests always from part of the lecture contents are organized. The final examination consists from written test and oral examination. Minimum 60% is required for entrance to oral examination.
