CHEM 6650

Advanced Organic Chemistry

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

The course focuses on stereoelectronic properties of organic compounds, conformational analysis, reaction thermodynamics and kinetics, stereochemistry, reactive intermediates, and catalysis. Case studies will focus on applications of these concepts and corresponding techniques that lead to creative design of selective organic synthesis and mechanistic insights into complex organic transformations. A particular emphasis is on the development of chemical and mechanistic intuition that will facilitate the students' laboratory research efforts.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: CHEM 3900 and CHEM 3580, or CHEM 3600, or equivalents, or permission of instructor.

Permission Note Primarily for: graduate students, seniors and juniors.
