Winter Term 2025/26
Lecture Course „Aromatics and Important C-C Coupling Reactions (Master)“
The lecture is held every Monday 10:15-11:00 (in 4 002), every Tuesday 11:15-12:00 (in 4 002), and every Thursday 10:15-11:00 (in 3 002). It starts October 13, 2025. The lecture will explore fundamental concepts of aromaticity, as well as the synthesis and properties of special aromatics, the „jewels of hydrocarbon chemistry“, and large aggregates in which aromatics represent essential structural elements. Furthermore, synthetic strategies that utilize aromatic compounds in the broadest sense will be demonstrated. The most important C-C coupling reactions integrated into the lecture provide the audience with a comprehensive arsenal of modification options for aromatic compounds. Since virtually all modern small-molecule pharmaceuticals contain heteroaromatic structural elements, the second part of the lecture places particular emphasis on the properties and reactivities of such compounds. This part is therefore particularly essential knowledge for anyone who aspires to pursue success in synthetic organic chemistry or even wants to work in medicinal chemistry.
Seminar Course (Übungen) „Aromatics and Important C-C Coupling Reactions (Master)“
A corresponding seminar course will take place every Monday 11:15-12:00 in 4 002. Respective exercises are available via Ilias after the lecture on Thursday afternoon. It is highly recommended to solve the exercises and to join this course in order to be well prepared for the final and mandatory oral exam. The first seminar course will be given on October 20, 2025.
