A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Heterocyclic chemistry of O, N and S compounds

This topic covers the structure, naming, aromaticity, preparation and reactions of heterocyclic compounds that contain oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur in the ring. It matters in exams because students are often asked to classify common heterocycles, explain why some are aromatic, compare their reactivity with benzene, and predict simple reactions of key ring systems such as pyrrole, furan, thiophene and pyridine.
