Overview
What you will study
The Selective organic synthesis course provided by KTH Royal Institute of Technology covers fundamental concepts in chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity and apply these in synthetic strategies. In addition, the course covers retrosynthetic analysis that aims at enabling advanced organic synthesis from simple molecular building blocks.
After passing the course the student should be able to:
- Explain basic chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective concepts and apply these in synthesis, as well as construct reactions pathways of complex organic compounds using retrosynthetic analysis.
- Analyze and summarize literature in the field of organic chemistry.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Fundamental concepts in chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity
- Synthetic strategy and principles for selective, in particular stereoselective, chemical transformations
- Transition metal catalysis
- Frontier orbital-controlled reactions
- Retrosynthetic analysis
