This master's level course, Advanced Organic Chemistry (KBT036), aims to deepen your understanding of organic chemistry, focusing on mechanistic aspects and expanding your knowledge of various organic reactions. You will explore newer topics including organometallic chemistry, pericyclic reactions, organic photochemistry, radical reactions, asymmetric synthesis, reactions involving amines and phosphorus compounds, and carbon-carbon bond formation. The course also provides hands-on experience in synthetic organic chemistry and the analysis of organic compounds.
The course is organized into lectures, tutorials, and a laboratory component. The laboratory part involves a multi-step synthesis conducted in groups of two, culminating in a written report and an oral presentation.
Applicants enrolled in a program at Chalmers where the course is included are exempt from general and specific entry requirements.
Tuition fees are stated in SEK and must be paid before applying for a residence permit. Payment is made via Chalmers' Pay Portal.
