The Streamlined Organic Synthesis course comprises lectures and problem sessions designed to illustrate how state-of-the-art catalytic methods can be applied to practical issues in small molecule synthesis.
The content will focus on problems and targets relevant to pharmaceutical and agrochemical and fine chemical interests. An emphasis will be placed on practical solutions.
Topics covered will include:
Pd and Cu catalysed C-C and C-X bond forming processes; an introduction to biocatalysis, Rh catalysed conjugate additions; gold catalysis; C-H activation for synthesis; catalytic hydrogenation, including transfer hydrogenation and asymmetric hydrogenation; catalysis in heterocycle modification and synthesis; air and water-tolerant Lewis acid catalysts; emerging areas in catalysis.
