Organic/Physical Organic Synthesis: Methods and Strategies for the 21st Century Chemist  
Course Code: SORG  
::
Course Information
Bring your mastery of synthetic organic chemistry right up to the current year!

This course is intended for any chemist who requires knowledge of the most recent methods in organic synthesis. The course materials also cover the strategies by which syntheses of organic compounds are designed and are continuously updated from the current literature right up to the time of each presentation of the course. The vast majority of the materials are from the 2000’s supplemented with some older references provided for the purpose of placing the most modern methods in a proper historical perspective.
