CHM 614: Advanced Organic Chemistry III (4)
Prerequisites: CHM 311, CHM 312
Concepts (Ligand systems, electron counting and chemical bonding).
Fundamental aspects (ligand substitutions, oxidative addition/reductive elimination, intramolecular insertions/ eliminations, nucleophilic/ electrophilic addition on coordinated ligands).
Coupling reactions and their synthetic applications (C-C and C-Heteroatom bond forming reactions).
Brief introduction to Fischer and Schrock carbene complexes, Metathesis (concepts and catalysts, RCM, ROM, CM, yne-metathesis, ene-yne metathesis and their applications).
Miscellaneous transition metal catalyzed reactions (C-H and C-F bond activation, carbonylation, click chemistry, hydrosilylation, etc.)
