Bonding and molecular structure, stereochemistry as applied to alkylation of nucleophilic carbon intermediates, reaction of carbonyl nucleophiles with carbonyl compounds, electrophilic addition to carbon multiple bonds, reduction of carbonyl and other functional groups. Concerted cycloadditionreactions, unimolecular rearrangements, and thermal elimination reactionsare an integral part of the course; this includes cycloaddition reactions, electrocyclic reactions, sigmatropic rearrangement and cheletropic reactions.
