Learner Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Access and use online and hard-copy organic chemistry reference resources and be able to choose among available resources for a particular research topic.
Provide plausible mechanisms and rationalize the stereo chemical issues present (when applicable) for fundamental and important synthetic transformations in organic chemistry.
Identify several disparate retrosynthetic possibilities for a given synthetic target and assess which disconnections among the available choices are better than others and why.
Recognize regio-, c·hemo-, and stereoselectivity issues that may influence the plausibility and success of a chosen reaction sequence in a total synthesis endeavor.
Identify key strategies used in the construction of landmark chemical syntheses reported in the literature.
