CLASS: CHEM490/654 Advanced Synthetic Methods,
Professor: Dr. Marcin Ptaszek
The new course number for undergraduates is 490 Sec 4
Description:
Area: Organic Chemistry. The course
surveys modern methods of organic synthesis, including classical
approaches (enolate chemistry, pericyclic reactions) and new methods
(metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, olefin metathesis). Scope and
limitations for each method is discussed. Each method is illustrated by
exemplary applications in total synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and
material chemistry, from the current chemical literature.
