Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide students to understand thermal and photochemical mechanisms of molecular orbital symmetry reaction formation, to present their diversity from ionic and radical mechanisms with teoretical and practical applications, to bring students to level to associate them with natural reaction processes.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Be able to to understand thermal and photochemical mechanisms of molecular orbital symmetry reaction formation, to present their diversity from ionic and radical mechanisms with teoretical and practical applications, to bring students to level to associate them with natural reaction processes
2   Will be able to understand types of thermal inversion and the elimination reaction, will have information about Cope, Degenerate Cope, Claisen, para Claisen conversion, cyclic elimination,Ene and pyrolysis reaction types
3   Will have information about -cleavage, -hydrogen detachment, photoreduction mechanisms which are formed by photochemical excitement
4   Will have information about photochemistry of different compounds and photochemical reaction mechanisms
5   Will have information about molecular orbital symmetry of unimolecular reactions, stereochemistry and cyclic addition reactions
