Study Notes
Heterocyclic Nomenclature
-
Heterocyclic compounds are named using the systematic IUPAC nomenclature.
-
Monocyclic fused and bridged heterocycles are named using substitutive and/or additive nomenclature.
-
Aromatic heterocycles conform to general aromatic rules.
Aromatic Heterocycles
-
Aromatic heterocycles exhibit typical aromatic behaviour with respect to structure, reactivity, and spectroscopic properties.
-
Classification, spectroscopic properties (e.g., NMR, UV-Vis), aromatic criteria (e.g., resonance energy, delocalisation energy, magnetic susceptibility).
-
Reactivity and tautomerism in aromatic heterocycles.
Non-Aromatic Heterocycles
-
Small ring heterocycles exhibit strain-induced properties from bond angles and torsional strain.
-
Ring inversions and pyramidal inversions are relevant in small ring heterocycles.
Medium-Sized Heterocycles
-
Synthesis and reactions of three- and four-membered heterocycles (e.g., aziridines, oxiranes, thiiranes, etc.).
-
Synthesis and reactions of benzo-fused five-membered heterocycles (e.g., benzopyrroles, benzofurans, benzothiophenes) including medicinal applications.
Mesoionic Heterocycles
- Classification and properties of mesoionic heterocycles (e.g., types A and B).
Six-Membered Heterocycles with a Heteroatom
- Synthesis and reactions of pyridinium salts, pyrones, quinolinium salts, benzo-fused heterocycles (e.g., coumarins, chromones).
Heterocycles with Multiple Heteroatoms
-
Synthesis and reactions of larger (seven or more membered) heterocyclic systems with two or more heteroatoms (e.g., diazines, triazines, tetraazines, thiazines).
-
Synthesis and reactions of larger heterocyclic compounds (e.g. azepinens, oxepins, thiepins, diazepines, thiazepines, azocines, diazocines, dioxocines, dithiocines).
Heterocycles Containing Arsenic, Antimony, and Boron
- Introduction, nomenclature, synthesis, and properties of heterocycles containing arsenic, antimony, and boron.
