STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS OF NAMED REACTIONS IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

In this course we will cover the mechanism and strategic applications of approximately 150 widely used named reactions in organic synthesis. The students will learn how to navigate the vast chemical literature effectively using sophisticated search engines like SciFinder and Reaxys and will get the opportunity to prepare and give 10-minute presentations on 5 recent named reactions. Recommended Prerequisite(s): CHEM 211 and CHEM 212. Repeatable for Credit.
