CHEM 4103 - Advanced Organic Chemistry: Synthesis

(formerly CHEM 3103)
Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Blended, Lecture, Online
Lab Hour(s): 4

This course deals with the synthetic aspects of organic chemistry: oxidations, reductions, concerted reactions, stereoselectivity, synthetic equivalents, and protecting groups. The reaction types will then be used in planning efficient synthetic pathways toward important complex target molecules such as clinical drugs and natural products. The laboratory component will emphasize the isolation, purification, and characterization of major and minor products from selected syntheses.

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3201 or CHEM 3202 with a grade of C- or higher.
