This course is aimed at B.S. and M.S. chemists in the pharmaceutical and contract syntheses industries looking to improve upon their ability to draw a reasonable mechanism for any complex organic transformation. Registrants will receive a copy of the text, The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms, 2nd edition, prior to the start of the course. You should read sections 1.1 to 1.3 and work the corresponding problems at the end of Chapter 1 before arriving to the course. You should bring the text to the course.
Key Topics
* How to identify what major class of mechanism is operative.
* How to get started at drawing a mechanism.
* When to draw proton-transfer steps under basic and acidic conditions.
* The fundamental reactions of carbocations.
* The fundamental organometallic reactions.
* The fundamental pericyclic reactions.
* The major mechanisms for substitution at C(sp3) and C(sp2) under various conditions.
* The mechanisms of typical pericyclic heterocycle-forming reactions.
Speakers
Robert B. Grossman, Professor of Chemistry, the University of Kentucky, received his principal training in synthetic organic chemistry from world leaders at Princeton University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Grossman is the author of close to 50 papers and articles concerned with the development of new synthetic methods and the total synthesis and biosynthesis of natural products. He is also the author of The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms, on which this course is based, and the co-creator of ACE Organic, a Web-based organic chemistry homework program.
