Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

By means of analysis of published total syntheses and synthetic strategies from the literature, this course has the goal of consolidating the understanding of complex syntheses and reaction sequences, as well as mechanisms.
Using selected examples, which will be worked on individually and in groups, solutions to synthetic problems of varying difficulty will be developed and discussed. The course will focus both on learning new organic transformations and fortifying the knowledge of basic organic chemistry.
