Advanced Organic Chemistry I
Lecture
Main Campus
Course Description
Advanced synthetic organic chemistry with an emphasis on structure, reactivity, stereocontrol, and named reactions. This course draws from underlying physical organic principles in order to teach students how to analyze complex organic reactions, predict functional group reactivity, propose reasonable reaction mechanisms, and begin to construct multistep syntheses of organic molecules. Topics include: pericyclic reactions, CO, CN, CC, and C=C bond formation, transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling, radical chemistry, and photochemistry. A solid foundation in organic chemistry is expected.
