This course is intended to give students an insight into the principles governing how and why organic chemical reactions take place, as well as, the survey of preparative methods in organic chemistry and their application to the synthesis of complex molecules. It will largely focus on the development of novel synthetic methods and applications of these in target synthesis, most often either natural products or biologically active compounds of pharmaceutical or agrochemical significance. Nucleophilic, electrophilic, elimination and addition reactions will also be covered
