Course Information
Description
Advanced reactivity principles in organic chemistry. Students learn 1) fundamentals of structure, bonding, and reaction energetics, 2) to identify and propose mechanisms for common organic, organometallic, and catalytic reactions, along with experiments to test those mechanisms; 3) to evaluate the factors controlling rate and selectivity in organic reactions; 4) to understand and analyze the current organic chemistry literature. The overarching goal of this course is to provide students with a solid foundation for a research career in organic chemistry and adjacent fields (chemical biology, inorganic chemistry).
