synthetic strategies for preparing a variety of organic
molecules, the use of protecting groups, enolate chemistry as
a key method for forming C--C bonds, functional group
transformations, and other synthetic methods. Prerequisite:
CHM 26605 or CHM 25600 or equivalent.
Learning objectives: Understand the principles of organic
synthesis, including enolate chemistry, use of protecting
groups, and synthetic equivalents.
