Organic Photochemistry Radicals and Heterocycles (CHEM0035)

The primary aim of the module is to give students the ability to understand organic reactions and to interpret these in mechanistic terms, to a point where they can apply this knowledge in a creative way.

MODULE AIMS

Identify and explain outcomes of a range of photochemical reactions and describe the associated mechanisms.
	Explain the nature, formation and reactions of benzynes, carbenes and nitrenes.
	Understand aspects of reactivity and selectivity in the reactions of free radicals.
	Predict the outcome of previously unseen free radical reactions.
	Plan the synthesis of a range of heterocycles and provide mechanisms for their formation
	Understand the reactivity and properties of heterocycles.
TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS

Lectures: The topics will be introduced through a blended delivery of asynchronous videos with online activities, and support hours.

Workshops: To support your learning problems will be covered in all-class workshops. You will gain most from this opportunity if you review and attempt the questions in advance of the workshop.

Self-study: In addition to timetabled hours it is expected that you engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form of practicing example questions (workshop questions, additional questions available on Moodle and past exam questions) and further reading in textbooks and online.

Landscape Inhabitation and Environmental Systems (BARC0115)

This is a module for those studying for our Diploma and MSc programmes only. It follows the musculoskeletal module taught earlier in the academic year and...

Pain and Disability Management in Performance (SURG0146)

This is a module for those studying for our Diploma and MSc programmes only. It follows the musculoskeletal module taught earlier in the academic year and expands in the areas of inflammatory conditions and chronic pain. The module further explores disability with problems associated with impairments and the special senses and it elaborates on the spectrum of flexibility and disorders of hypermobility. This module is examined orally during Term 3 on campus.
