After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend the subtle differences required for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Concomitantly, the reasons for the required differences between laboratory synthesis and production scale synthesis will be known. Besides the syntheses of APIs, also the requirements for syntheses towards organic materials will be known.
Principles of medicinal chemistry, asymmetric synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, synthesis of organic materials (e.g. organic light emmitting diodes), process chemistry in the pharmaceutical industry, mechanistic studies of organic reactions, DFT calculations to support mechanistic studies.
lecture format with time for questions during the lecture
The lecture is suitable for students in the advanced stage of master studies in synthesis, ideally after the lectures Organische Molekularchemie, Strategien in der Organischen Synthese und Methoden in der Organischen Synthese have been attended.
written exam with 1-2 questions to each topic
Organic Chemistry 1 & 2
