Chemistry 408 - Organic Synthesis

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to the design and development of organic syntheses. The starting point is the predictable design of organic structures by the "disconnection approach," based heavily onthe use of carbanions and other modern reactions. The versatility of these methods is discussed, using novel ways to apply these reactions to generate elusive structures. Fairly complicated syntheses are evaluated to appreciate new ideas and approaches to synthesis. Recent papers in organic synthesis are presented by the professor, participating students, and visiting speakers. Performance is evaluated on the basis of seminar participation and presentation. Prerequisite: Chemistry 201-202.
