Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds 1200-2SPEC122M

This lecture covers the following topics:
- Three-membered rings with oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur; biological activity (pheromones, anti-cancer drugs), synthesis and reactivity;
- Four-membered rings; synthesis and reactivity; beta-lactam antibiotics
- Fife-membered rings (furans, pyroles, thiophenes); synthesis; utilization in drug synthesis;
- Six-membered rings (pyridines, pyranes); synthesis and reactivity (electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution); utilization in alkaloid synthesis;
- Quinolines, isoquinolines, indoles; occurrence in the nature; utilization in synthesis of dyestuffs and drugs;
- Application of heterocyclic compounds in organic synthesis;
- Heterocyclic compounds in new technologies;
