This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry – III (BP401T), a core subject in the B. Pharm curriculum. The course focuses on the stereochemical aspects of organic compounds and reactions, important named reactions, and the chemistry and medicinal relevance of heterocyclic compounds. Through well-structured lectures, this series aims to build a strong conceptual foundation by covering definitions, classifications, reaction mechanisms, examples, and real-world pharmaceutical applications.
What you will learn: Principles of stereoisomerism, including optical and geometrical isomerism Concepts of chirality, symmetry, and stereochemical nomenclature (R/S and D/L systems) Conformational analysis and stereochemical behavior of organic molecules Stereospecific and stereoselective reactions Chemistry, synthesis, and medicinal importance of key heterocyclic compounds such as pyrrole, furan, thiophene, pyridine, quinoline, indole, and more Basicity and reactivity of heterocyclic systems Important organic name reactions used in pharmaceutical synthesis, including reductions, oxidations, and rearrangements
Special Focus: Mechanisms of reactions relevant to drug synthesis Medicinal applications of organic compounds in pharmaceutical sciences
Who is this for? B.Pharm students (Semester IV – BP401T) Pharmacy and chemistry learners preparing for university exams, GPAT, and competitive exams Anyone interested in strengthening their understanding of organic and medicinal chemistry. This lecture series aligns with the latest syllabus and emphasizes concept clarity, mechanism-based learning, and application-oriented understanding.
