Advanced Organic Chemistry- Synthesis

Catalog description

This course will examine the techniques and reactions commonly applied to the design of synthesis of complex organic compounds. This will include retrosynthetic analysis, common synthons, masked functionalities, umpolung strategies, functional group transformations, bond-forming reactions, and conformational and stereochemical aspects. Emphasis will be placed on application to medicinally important targets. Students enrolled for graduate credit will design multistep synthetic schemes, interpret primary chemical literature related to synthesis and effectively utilize professional resources and databases.
