Synthetic Methods in Organic Chemistry I

Graduate / Professional

Compound synthesis is essential to the discovery and development of new chemical entities with a desired property, whether for fundamental study or a more applied goal such as a new pharmaceutical, agrochemical, or material. In this course we emphasize key transformations and principles to provide a framework for the efficient design and synthesis of organic compounds. Prerequisites: two terms of organic chemistry and one term of introductory inorganic chemistry, or related course, or permission of the instructor. ½ Course cr MW 11:35am-12:50pm
