CHEM 432
Advanced Organic Synthesis
Units: 1.5
Hours: 3-0
Building on the methodology learned in 335, this course focuses on the art and science of total synthesis, including modern asymmetric transformations, organometallic coupling strategies (e.g., Pd- and Ru-mediated reactions), and considerations of synthetic efficiency. Students will learn to evaluate and propose syntheses of complex natural products.
Prerequisites:
Undergraduate course in Chemistry offered by the Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science.
