CHEM 424 Synthesis of Medicinal Compounds
This course introduces and illustrates how contemporary synthetic organic chemistry is used in the
identification and preparation of medicinally valuable compounds. The strategies and synthetic methods
used to identify and prepare potential drug molecules are described along with some of the specialized
technologies and techniques that are needed for structural confirmation. Real-world examples are used
throughout to illustrate these methods, primarily through analysis of published papers.
