Lecture
This lecture covers the basics of tuberculosis, its treatment with antibiotics, and the challenges of drug-resistant tuberculosis. It also explores the radical halogenation of alkanes, focusing on the selectivity and environmental impact of chlorination and bromination reactions. The instructor discusses the mechanisms of radical reactions, the stability of radicals, and the functionalization of alkanes using transition metals. Additionally, the lecture delves into the use of platinum-based systems like the Shilov system and biological oxidation with enzymes like Cytochrome P450. Students will learn about key concepts such as radical reactions, orbital diagrams, radical stability, and alkane functionalization.
