The module provides coverage of the more important methods of forming carbon-carbon single and double bonds. Following on from year 1 carbonyl chemistry, some more advanced aspects of carbonyl chemistry will be discussed.  Main-group elements and their role in synthesis will be considered.  Retrosynthetic analysis will be introduced in the context of carbonyl chemistry and will be developed to enable the student to plan some complex multistep syntheses. The synthesis and reactions of the main classes of simple heterocyclic compounds will be covered.  The chemistry of other biologically-important compounds such as carbohydrates amino acids will also be detailed. More advanced aspects of stereochemistry are covered, and the relationship between conformation and reactivity is explored.
The module has a practical component which focuses on the use of more advanced techniques for the preparation, isolation and analysis (IR and NMR) of target molecules. A part of the practical session is devoted to the isolation of stereochemically pure products.

It is a condition of accreditation to notify the RSC of any changes to an accredited degree. 
Reaccreditation due 2023/24.
