Advanced Methods in Organic Synthesis

The aim of the course is to provide the fundamental basis for understanding some important reactions in advanced synthetic organic chemistry, which lead to the formation of carbon-carbon bonds through the use of reagents or catalysts containing transition metals (copper, palladium, nickel, ruthenium, tungsten) or p-block elements (boron, silicon, tin).

At the end of the course, the student should be able to select suitable reactions for a particular organic synthesis, based on the identification of the most effective possibilities among the available ones.
