ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
COURSE OBJECTIVE: To introduce to the students certain advanced topics in organic chemistry
QUANTUM MECHANICS - 1
NMR Spectroscopy
NMR Spectroscopy - Magnetic nuclei with emphasis on 1H and 13C, shielding, de-shielding and chemical shifts, factors affecting chemical shifts - Field and anisotropic factors, relaxation processes, chemical and magnetic non-equivalence, 1H and 13C NMR scales, Spin-spin splitting – AX, AX2, AX3, A2X3, AB, ABC and AMX type coupling, Coupling constants. Pascals triangle, first order and non-first order spectra, Karplus curve, Quadrapule broadening, virtual and long-range coupling, Shift reagents and their role, Decoupling and double resonance, Off-resonance decoupling, NOE. Introduction to 2D NMR. Correlation, NOE and quantum correlation spectroscopy techniques like COSY, HETCOR, HMQC, HMBC, NOESY and EXCY. Application of DEPT technique, Problems on spectral interpretation.
BIOINORGANIC CHEMISTRY
The course aims to cover important topics in bioinorganic chemistry that include ion transports across membrane, photosynthesis, and oxygen transport mechanism
