Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The student will be introduced to the modern photosynthetic techniques used in organic chemistry in this course. The course starts with an extensive introduction to organic molecules' fundamental photochemical/photophysical properties, focusing on the chemical and physical properties of molecular excited states. In a second avenue, the students will be familiarised with those photochemical transformations occurring in nature through a review of the basic concepts of natural photosynthesis and related biosynthetic paths. The focus of the course will move on the chemical reactivity of molecular excited states and their use to trigger chemical transformations (radical chemistry) in organic synthetic chemistry (light-triggered and photocatalytic transformations). Case studies include the synthesis of medicinal-relevant products, stereoselective synthesis, solar fuel production and molecular switches. In the last part of the course, we will review basic concepts of electro organic synthesis.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam (100%)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

A written exam with questions will be given and assessed. The questions will be centred around a series of examples taken from the literature and the candidate will be required to provide organic synthetic- and mechanistic-driven reasoning, as well as product predictions.

Examination topics

All topics touched during the course will be considered important for the examination. Handouts will be given throughout the course to practise with questions and the examination topics.

Reading list

All concepts and topics in this module are covered in the primary literature and review papers that are given during the course.
