Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1897 Three lectures. Variable content, depending on the interests of students and faculty. Topics are selected in consultation with students electing the course. Previous topics have been modern synthetic methods, asymmetric synthesis, natural product chemistry, biosynthesis, chemistry of coenzymes, combinatorial approaches to synthesis, free radical chemistry, organic photochemistry, organometallic chemistry. ; Prerequisite(s): Chemistry H225.; Enrollment Limit: 30 Natural Science, C: Physical and Natural Processes (; Hav: NA, C) The overall goal of this course in the second half of Spring 2022 is to teach the student strategy and tactics in the synthesis of complex natural products. The course will cover classical synthesis that employs a whole myriad of organic reactions. In addition, the student will see well known reactions in organic chemistry such as polar rearrangements, photochemical reactions, concerted reaction mechanisms, radical cyclizations and many others employed to make architecturally interesting natural products. It will enable the student to predict selectivity and identify risks in designing routes for synthetic execution. |
