Advanced Synthetic Techniques
Course content
This is an advanced synthesis course designed to train students at the late master's level and at the PhD level. The course will describe and discuss modern tecniques for the synthesis of advanced organic and inorganic small-molecules. The focus of the course is to describe and demonstarte techniques for synthesis rather than the preperation of specific molecules.
Knowledge:
After the course the student will be able to describe and discuss
modern tecniques for the synthesis of advanced organic and
inorganic small-molecules.
Skills:
To work independantly with specialised equipment and advanced
synthesis methods.
To work with synthetic chemistry under an inert atmosphere and at
anhydrous conditions.
To work with microscale reactions.
To work responibly with highly reactive reagents and low boiling
liquids and gasses.
To work responsibly with chemical reactions at extreeme
temperatures and pressures.
To work with various types of chomatographic purification methods
and make educated choices regarding purification methods.
Competences:
To assess when the use of advanced techniques and advamced
equipment is necessary and to make educated choices regarding
the execution of the chemical reactions and the purification
methods.
Laboratory exercises and lectures.

Knowledge of organic chemistry corresponding to the bachelor courses "Advanced Organic Chemistry" and "Advanced Organic Chemical Synthesis"
A bachelor's degree in chemistry is a prerequisite for attending.
An experimental synthetic bachelor's project must have been
passed before taking this course and an experimental master's /
PhD project must have been started as well.
