Module description
This module develops further the chemistry of carbon-based compounds, and builds upon the principles and concepts introduced in the pre-requisite module (Synthesis and Mechanism I). Two distinct areas are covered in the module: The Chemistry of Carbonyl Compounds (enolate chemistry; enamines; aldol reactions) and The Chemical Synthesis of Peptides (amino-acid chemistry; the peptide bond; chemical synthesis of peptides). The associated Laboratory component allows techniques and manipulations associated with synthetic organic chemistry to be further developed and, in some instances, reinforces the lecture material.
