Description

Introduction

This course is intended to provide a thorough update of recent developments in the synthesis and subsequent transformations of heterocyclic aromatic compounds. The lectures briefly reprise ‘classical’ methods used for the synthesis of aromatic heterocycles containing nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur and build upon these concepts by focusing upon advances made in the area during the last decade. Improved classical processes and any new reactions described are thoroughly delineated in problem classes held in tutorial format.

  • Introduction

    Comparison of strategies for heteroaromatic synthesis:
    ‘classical’ methods
    transition-metal catalysed processes
    modern methods

    Recent Developments in the Synthesis and Reactions of:

    Monocyclic, five membered monoheteroaromatic rings:
    pyrroles, furans, thiophenes

    Bicyclic, five-membered monoheteroaromatic rings:
    indoles, isoindoles,
    benzofurans, isobenzofurans,
    benzothiophenes and isobenzothiophenes

    Mono- and bicyclic, five-membered diheteroraomatic rings:
    imidazoles, pyrazoles,
    benzimidazoles, benzpyrazoles,
    oxazoles, isoxazoles,
    benzoxazoles, benzisoxazoles
    thiazoles and isothiazoles,
    benzothiazoles

    Monocyclic, five membered triheteroaromatic rings:
    triazoles, oxadiazoles, thiadiazoles
    Monocyclic, five-membered tetraheteroaromatic rings:
    tetrazoles

    Mono- and bicyclic, six-membered monoheteroaromatic rings:
    pyridines,
    quinolines and isoquinolines

    Mono- and bicyclic, six-membered diheteroaromatic rings:
    pyrimidines, pyrazines, pyridazines,
    quinoxalines, quinazolines and cinnolines

  • An important feature of this course is the high proportion of tutorials provided to reinforce the lectures.

    Register early for this course, as the number of places will be restricted to 30, in order to ensure fruitful discussions.

  • This course has been designed to be of benefit to a wide range of industrial chemists, specifically those already familiar with the principles of aromatic heterocyclic ('heteroaromatic') chemistry or for those who have already attended the "Essential Aromatic Heterocyclic Chemistry" or "Heterocyclic Synthesis in Modern Chemistry" courses.

    This course is suitable for scientists at graduate level and above.

  • "Overall a very exciting, powerful,
    well presented lecture course.”"

Ideal location among hotels near Edinburgh Castle
Built on craggy, extinct volcanoes above a North Sea inlet, Edinburgh is an ancient city best known for its skyline-dominating fortress namesake, Edinburgh Castle, which is only a short walk from this Edinburgh accommodation. The famed castle is home to the city's oldest building, the 12th-century St. Margaret's Chapel. While Edinburgh is steeped in history and features a bevy of impressive museums that are also near this luxury hotel, today the vibrant city has gained new fame for its annual world-class cultural festival.
