Total Synthesis of Natural Products

This course covers the reactions, strategies, and tactics needed to tackle the molecular complexity posed by the structures of complex natural products. Building upon reactions learned in synthetic methods, additional examples of modern methods for bond-forming reactions will be presented, as will the tools necessary to logically analyze and build complex molecular targets. Primary literature sources will be emphasized.

You may be asked to serve as research subjects in studies under the direction of the faculty while enrolled in this course. Participation is voluntary.
