KIM 482E - Organic Reactions

Course Objectives

The course is designed to provide fundamental aspects of total synthesis in organic chemistry.

Course Description

This course provides extensive coverage of various aspect of total synthesis such as retrosynthetic analysis, functional group interconversions (FGI)’s, chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, stereoselectivity, protecting group, the carbon-carbon bond forming reactions using stabilized carbanions, ylides, enamines, and transition metal catalysis. In addition, the course covers the common “name reactions” used in organic syntheses.
