SDG Detail
CHEM 730 : Modern Methods for the Synthesis of Bioactive Molecules
Postgraduate courseProject description
This advanced course builds on the core organic synthesis principles taught at undergraduate level. You will gain a strong understanding of the rational design and efficient synthesis of complex organic molecules, including strategies and reagents for asymmetric synthesis, synthons and disconnection patterns. CHEM730 provides the foundations for postgraduate research study and careers in diverse fields including medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry, healthcare, agrochemicals, molecular optics and smart materials.
