CHEM 745 - Strategy of Organic Synthesis

(3 units)
Concepts for planning and evaluating multi-step synthesis of complex molecules, natural products and pharmaceuticals. (Formerly CHEM 745).

Units of Lecture: 3
Offered Every Spring
Student Learning Outcomes (if available):
Upon completion of this course:
1. Students will be able to independently design and present a synthetic plan or strategy for synthesizing organic molecules.
2. Students will be able to articulate in writing or verbally and critically analyze differences between synthetic strategies reported in the chemical literature.
3. Students will be able to articulate the general rules of relative reactivity and apply these rules to the design of synthetic routes.
4. Students will be able to explain the concepts of umpolung, synthons, synthetic equivalents, and stereocontrol and use them in planning organic syntheses.
5. Students will be able to describe the basic principles of retrosynthetic analysis and apply them to designing synthetic strategies.
