The primary aim of the course is to critically analyze the various aspects of the modern organic synthesis, starting from the topics already examined during the courses of Organic Chemistry 1 and 2.
Topics include: formation of the chemical bond; main classes of organic reactions (additions, eliminations, pericyclic, redox); acid-base reactions, and hard-soft theory; the retrosynthetic approach; C-C bond forming reactions mediated by transition metals; retrosynthetis for chiral molecules: the chiron approach; industrial organic synthesis.
