Course content
The course is designed to study intermolecular interactions in organic chemistry and the influence of the electronic structure of organic molecules on their reactivity, as well as its changes depending on the properties of environmental molecules and other conditions. The mechanisms of the most important types of reactions are considered: nucleophilic and electrophilic attachment to the multiple bond, elimination, nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution, rearrangement of cations, anions and free radicals, and symmetry-controlled reactions. Considerable attention is paid to the consideration of the influence of solvents on the mechanism of interaction.
