ABOUT THE COURSE:Organic synthesis of small molecules is the most challenging and intriguing area of research in the chemical science related disciplines. In the early 20th century, the field of synthetic organic chemistry, while established in many respects, was to continue a sharp path of progress and advancement for over a century to reach the level of power and sophistication that it possesses today. This is a unique tool for accessing new chemical entities with great biological potential, which seems to be impossible to access from natural sources due to its scarce availability. In this coursework I will try to address various aspects of organic synthesis through a problem/puzzle solving approaches so that students can learn in an interactive manner and excel in competitive exams.INTENDED AUDIENCE:Chemistry, Medicinal ChemistryPREREQUISITES:Basic Organic Chemistry, StereochemistryINDUSTRY SUPPORT:Pharmaceutical Industry
