Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture
Learning outcomes
Spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule is fundamental for physical-chemical properties and biological activity. A simple difference of the spatial arrangement in a molecule may bring completely different properties. Knowledge of stereochemical rules and course of stereoselective reactions enables synthesis of desired stereoizomers. The course is focused on basic principles of stereoselective synthesis. 1) Terminology, Stereoselective synthesis, Categories of Stereoselective Synthesis, Convergent Syntheses, Diastereoselective Synthesis of Achiral 2) Strategies for Stereocontrol in Diastereoselective Synthesis 3) Diastereoselective Syntheses Based on Chiral Substrates of Natural Origin 4) Nucleophilic Additions, Electrophilic Reactions of Alkenes 5) The Aldol Reaction, Pericyclic Reactions 6) Catalytic Hydrogenations, Free Radical Reactions 7) Enantioselective Syntheses with Chiral Nonracemic Reagents 8) Enantioselective Syntheses with Chiral Nonracemic Catalysts 9) Nonlinear Effects in Catalysis, Enzyme Based Processes 10) Enantioselective Synthesis Involving Discrimination between Enantiotopic Groups, Enantioconvergent Syntheses 11) Interactions between Principal Chiral Reactants, Reagent Control, Kinetic Amplification
Evaluate the effectiveness of stereoselective synthetic methods, choose the suitable method for a given purpose.
