- Fundamental chemo-, regio-, and stereochemical concepts
- Synthetic strategy and principles for selective, in particular stereoselective, chemical transformations
- Transition metal catalysis
- Frontier orbital-controlled reactions
- Retrosynthetic analysis
- Advanced organic synthesis
After the course the student should be able to:
- describe basic chemo-, regio- and stereochemical concepts
- describe principles for selective synthesis, in particular for stereoselective synthesis
- explain the selectivity observed in chemical reactions
- sugegst methods for selective synthesis of simple organic compounds, also containing stereogenic elements
- identify suitable reagents for selective transformations
- use retrosynthetic analysis for the construction of synthetic routes for simple organic compounds
- prepare organic compounds using advanced synthetic methodology
