CHM 468 Advanced Organic Chemistry

The course focuses on organic synthesis and builds upon the material covered in CHM 325 and CHM 326. Important topics are retrosynthetic analysis, protecting groups, and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, such as advanced enolate chemistry and palladium cross coupling reactions. Important organic chemistry models, such as the Ireland, Zimmerman-Traxler, Cram and Felkin-Ahn models are presented.
