Selective Organic Synthesis KD 2390 (9 hp) Christina Moberg The advent of organic chemistry shaped the world • Biology is dependent on organic synthesis • Organic synthesis is the foundation for biotechnology, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, and material industry About the course: • Disposition: lectures, exercises, lab, workshop • Course book: Clayden, Greeves and Warren Organic Chemistry, Oxford University Press, 2012 (ISBN 978-0-19-927029-3) [or Clayden, Greeves, Warren and Wothers: Organic Chemistry, Oxford University Press, 2001 (ISBN 0 19 850346 6)] and distributed material • Examination: oral exam, lab work (lab and workshop compulsory) After the course the student should be able to:" " • Describe basic stereochemical concepts • Describe principles for stereoselective synthesis, in particular for enantioselective synthesis • Explain the stereochemistry observed in chemical reactions • Suggest methods for stereoselective synthesis of simple organic compounds containing stereogenic elements • Identify suitable reagents for stereoselective transformations • Use retrosynthetic analysis for the construction of synthetic routes for simple organic compounds • Prepare organic compounds using advanced synthetic methodology Contents • Fundamental stereochemical concepts • Synthetic strategy and principles for stereoselective, in particular enantioselective, chemical transformations • Transition metal catalysis • Applications of frontier orbital theory • Retrosynthetic analysis • Advanced organic synthesis Marcellin Pierre Eugène Berthelot (1827 - 1907) " "La Chimie crée ses objets" “This is an important point: neither biology nor chemistry would be served best by a development in which all organic chemists would simply become biological such that, as a consequence, research at the core of organic chemistry and, therefore, progress in understanding the reactivity of organic molecules, would dry out. Progress at its core in understanding and reasoning in not only essential for organic chemistry itself, but for life sciences as a whole. Life science needs Organic Chemistry that remains strong.” Axel Eschenmoser (2008) “Without the possibility of synthesis on the molecular level, efforts in reconstructing or engineering life are certainly bound to fail” P.
