Metal Mediated Reactions

In this course, you will build upon your understanding of organic chemistry and organometallic chemistry developed in core courses in earlier years. You will bring together knowledge from the separate core courses to understand how this knowledge can be used for the synthesis of both simple and complex molecules using the chemistry of transition metals. Where relevant, you will study examples taken from the pharmaceutical and other industries to illustrate how the chemistry can be applied at scale and how issues such as IP and green metrics impact the process. The course will use the flipped classroom method to promote critical thinking and creativity.
