Aims

Organic synthesis is an important aspect of chemistry that demands the integration of a bundle of knowledge. The first objective of the course is to teach the student the best way to analyse a target-structure so he can define a plan of action. The second objective of the course is to learn the application of a synthesis by the manipulation of activation methods and of selectivity control.

Main themes

1. Retro synthetic analysis
2. Activation and protection of chemical functions
3. Chemo selectivity; regioselectivity
4. Anchimeric assistance
5. Stereo selectivity and asymmetric synthesis: notions developed are illustrated by concrete examples of organic synthesis of products interesting to the agro alimentary and pharmacy industry, or natural products.
