CHEM 745 - Strategy of Organic Synthesis (3 units)
Concepts for planning and evaluating multi-step synthesis of complex molecules, natural products and pharmaceuticals.
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Spring
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. independently design and present a synthetic plan or strategy for synthesizing organic molecules.
2. articulate in writing or verbally and critically analyze differences between synthetic strategies reported in the chemical literature.
3. articulate the general rules of relative reactivity and apply these rules to the design of synthetic routes.
4. explain the concepts of umpolung, synthons, synthetic equivalents, and stereocontrol and use them in planning organic syntheses.
5. describe the basic principles of retrosynthetic analysis and apply them to designing synthetic strategies.
