Foundations of Organic Synthesis

Are you looking to understand how complex organic molecules are built? This course provides a clear, text-based introduction to the core principles of organic synthesis. You will learn to dissect synthetic targets, identify key functional group transformations, and apply retrosynthetic analysis to plan multi-step reaction sequences. The course covers essential reaction mechanisms, stereochemical considerations, and modern approaches to efficient synthesis. What you'll learn: * Grasp fundamental concepts of reaction mechanisms and reactivity. * Apply retrosynthetic analysis to plan synthetic routes. * Understand the principles of stereoselective synthesis. * Explore common carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. * Learn to predict and control reaction outcomes. * Practice designing synthetic pathways for target molecules. This course begins with foundational concepts before progressing to more complex synthetic strategies. It is designed for beginners with no prior experience in organic synthesis, requiring only a basic understanding of organic chemistry principles. Start building your synthetic chemistry skills today.
