Description including Unit Aims

This unit develops the introduction to inorganic chemistry given in CHEM 10600/700/800 to provide the essential base of organic chemistry required for advanced study at Levels 6 and 7 (Years 3 and 4). It covers the main areas of the subject e.g. the chemistry of carbanions, carbocations and radicals, monofunctional and difunctional carbonyl compounds, aromatic, homocyclic and heterocyclic compounds, amino derivatives and modern aspects of synthesis. Workshops are integral to the unit.
