Topics presented include enolate anions, amines, aromatics, heterocycles, carbohydrates, amino acids, and concerted reactions. The synthesis of compounds of chemical and pharmaceutical interest will be used as a focus for these topics. In addition, there is a continuing emphasis on the principles of mechanistic organic chemistry will be presented.
Students work independently in the laboratory on the preparation of organic compounds.
The success of student syntheses is monitored by the use of spectroscopic and other techniques. All Rights Reserved.
