Course Name: Pericyclic Reactions and Organic Photochemistry

Course abstract

The aim of the course is to make students familiar with the concepts and applications in two important topics in advanced organic chemistry, namely concerted organic reactions and organic photochemistry.

Pericyclic reactions are concerted organic reactions and are governed by Woodward-Hoffmann rules. Different methods of analysis of pericyclic reactions to arrive at the Woodward-Hoffmann rules will be presented. Synthetic applications and mechanisms of various pericyclic reactions will be discussed. Similarly the concepts involved in understanding organic photochemical reactions, their mechansims and applications in organic synthesis will be presented.

This course will uncover all the major topics in pericyclic reactions and organic photochemistry. In addition to lectures there will be tutorial sessions and assignments in this course.

Its a wonderful course. I learned lot of knowledge and cleared all doubts related to subject. In this well explained and it is very useful in my teaching and motivate students to qualify csir-net. Thank you so much for this great FDP.


The course was delivered by the most experienced and eminent professor who also written a useful book in the same field.so being a student i am so happy and satisfied with his lectures


Medicinal Chemistry course by Prof. Harinath Chakrapani was very interesting and I have enjoyed the complete learning process. After just watching the introductory video I was sure that the course is going to be very engaging and interesting. Our quarries and doubts were cleared in forums with a great detail. The contents of the course were also very good. After today's exam I am feeling more confident about my concepts in this new field and I have also recommend this course to my friends. Thank You
