Requisites: Before taking this module you must take CH12002 AND take CH12005 AND take CH22008 AND take CH22009
Learning Outcomes: Synoptic: Demonstrate knowledge from the key aspects of core chemistry in earlier years of the programmes to solve problems from across the discipline boundaries of chemistry. Core self-directed study:
  • f-block chemistry: Examine and appraise the importance of the f-block elements (lanthanides and actinides), selecting specific examples to rationalise their differences, reactivity, applications and properties;
  • Stereoselective synthesis: Analyse and predict the stereochemical outcome of a variety of organic reactions and account for this via examination of the mechanism;
  • Drug discovery: Outline the reagents, conditions and reaction mechanisms of relevant transformations for the synthesis and functionalisation of heterocyclic compounds;
Evaluate and propose synthetic routes to small-molecule drug targets.


Synopsis: The unit provides you with an opportunity to revise fundamental chemistry from years 1 and 2 (synoptic component). This will also allow you to develop core knowledge of chemistry, which will be expanded upon in the final year of the course and to encourage approaches to independent learning (core self-directed component).

Content: The content in this unit will be based on two strands: 1) Key aspects of the core units from years 1 and 2 covering organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry. This is a synoptic component covering level 4 and 5 content from previous years of the course. This will be supported by independent learning and augmented by directed reading and supporting materials to prepare you for an overarching synoptic exam. 2) In addition you must study three topics, which are analogous to topics studied by third year MChem students. Topics will include (a) f-block chemistry, (b) organic stereoselective chemistry, (c) drug discovery.
