Title | Topics in Organic Chemistry: Methods for Complex Organic Synthesis |
Description | An in-depth discussion of transition metal-catalyzed reactions commonly used in modern organic synthesis (e.g. cross coupling, olefin metathesis, asymmetric hydrogenation, etc.). Emphasis will be placed on the topic of selectivity (chemo-, regio-, and stereo-) and its mechanistic basis. The historical development, scope, and limitations of the methods are discussed. A prior course in organometallic chemistry (CHM 521) is recommended. |
