Learning outcomes |
The main goal of this course unit is learning the chemical synthesis of organic molecules using the retrosynthesis approach and a set of strategies driving to a greater efficacy in terms of yield and selectivity, in the obtainment of the final product.
At the end of this course unit, the student should be able to plan the best strategies for an efficient organic synthesis of organic molecules with biological activity using a retrosynthetic approach. Confronted with a concrete practical problem on preparing an organic molecule, the student should have the ability to analyze and consider the various plausible synthesis hypotheses, and among these, to choose the best solution in terms of efficiency, economical and easy implementation, depending on the available material means. Students will have developed their laboratory skills and spectroscopic characterization of chemical compounds knowledge.
