Physikalisch-organische Chemie, Klausur

What it is about

The module provides the physically-organic perspective on organic molecules, their reactions and the methods for elucidating reaction mechanisms. You will learn to understand the connections between thermodynamics and kinetics and to use methods to predict reactivity and selectivity and apply them to synthesis planning and catalyst development.

What you will be able to do

• Recognize the relationship between thermodynamics and kinetics in organic reactions
• Apply methods for elucidating reaction mechanisms
• Predict reactivity and selectivity using tables and online data
• Apply physically-organic concepts in organic catalysis
• Use linear free energy relationships to derive mechanisms and for substituent effects
