The course is intended for students following a Masters- or Ph.D. program in organic chemistry. It is a theoretical course without laboratory exercises. The course treats physical-chemical principles and models for organic reactions. It gives on overview over general principles and methods for studying organic reaction mechanisms.
The following types of reactions are treated: Pericyclic reactions, photochemistry, acid-base catalysis, substitution reactions (nucleophilic, electrophilic, homolytic), addition reactions (addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, additions to carbon-heteroatom multiple bonds), elimination reactions, rearrangements, red-ox reactions.
