Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to:Student Learning Outcomes:
- Examine the principles of retrosynthesis to the reactions of an organic molecule from known starting reagents/ products.
-
Describe the common synthetic methods available to produce organic molecules (linear chains, rings, formation of carbon-carbon bonds) and the interconversion of the most important functional groups.
- Identify functional group compatibility as an essential tool in organic synthetic chemistry.
- Determine the contributions of chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity to the overall mechanisms of organic reactions.
- Propose alternative reaction routes/ conditions to obtain the same organic compounds.
- Identify the best reagents and experimental conditions to obtain a desired target molecule.
