Description

Synthesis of new organic molecules is a core skill that lies at the heart of medicinal chemistry. The development of a new drug, from the design stage to eventual introduction into the clinic, is enabled by comprehensive synthetic skills. This course will explore a range of important techniques necessary for the synthesis of complex organic architectures: synthetic strategy and the use of protecting groups, an introduction to asymmetric synthesis, and polymer-supported synthesis of bimolecular including peptides and nucleic acids.
