Multi-step organic synthesis

2C2AC2 Multi-step organic synthesis Materials and Chemistry S8
Lessons : 18 h TD : 0 h TP : 0 h Project : 0 h Total : 18 h
Co-ordinator : Jacques Rouden
Prerequisite
All courses related to organic chemistry of the previous semester
Course Objectives
Learn how to design and synthesize a complex molecule. Discuss the reaction mechanisms, the choice of reagent, the reaction conditions in the synthesis of a natural products
Syllabus
- Radical reactions
- Oxidations
- Reductions
- Rearrangements and periccyclic reactions (see the related course on previous semester)
- Total synthesis of natural products
Practical work (TD or TP)
Tutorials : each student presents a well-known total synthesis of a natural product. He describes each steps, emphasizing on the reaction mechanisms. Exemples are taken from the organic chemistry literature of the 70's, 80's and 90's
Acquired skills
- Master the main strategies used in organic chemistry for the design and the synthesis of various and complex molecules
