Key synthetic strategies will be introduced such as modern coupling reactions, catalytic methods, click chemistry and peptide chemistry. Advanced protecting group chemistry will be discussed in relation to these methodologies. Green synthetic methodology will be emphasised throughout and environmental issues will be discussed and their importance considered in terms of drug production and waste remediation. The course will provide an introduction to reaction kinetics and heat evolution.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
