Comment/Description

fakultativ
This course provides an in-depth study of modern synthetic methods in organic chemistry, with a focus on advanced transformations and catalytic strategies. Key topics include the principles of metallocomplex catalysis, basic definitions, and Sidgwick’s rule. Particular attention is given to cross-coupling reactions, including Heck, Suzuki, Negishi, Stille, Sonogashira, and Ullmann reactions, which represent powerful tools for the formation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds.
Students will also explore methods for constructing multiple carbon–carbon bonds, such as the Wittig, Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons, McMurry, Barton, and elimination reactions. Special reactions such as the Ohira–Bestmann and Corey–Fuchs transformations, as well as alkylation strategies, will be examined in detail.
Another important section of the course covers synthetic approaches to polycyclic aromatic compounds, including the Scholl, Friedel–Crafts, Haworth, intramolecular Heck, Clar, and DIPEX reactions, as well as dehydrofluorination and dehydrochlorination processes.
Finally, the course will address methods for constructing carbon cycles, highlighting modern strategies for building cyclic frameworks of varying complexity.
