Advanced Methods in Organic Synthesis

The aim of the course is to provide the fundamental basis forunderstanding some important reactions in advanced synthetic organicchemistry, which lead to the formation of carbon-carbon bonds throughthe 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.
