Course description and aims

[Summary of the course]
The instructor explains "reduction reactions (hydrogenation reactions, hydrosilylation reactions, and hydroboration reactions)", "oxidation reactions (epoxidation reactions, dihydroxylation reactions, and dehydrogenation reactions)", and "coupling reactions (carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions, carbonylation reactions, and carbon-hydrogen bond activation reactions)", which are especially important for applications to organic synthesis within organometallic catalyst chemistry.
[Aim of the course]
Organometallic catalysis chemistry is extremely important in not only laboratory organic synthesis but also industrial organic synthesis. In this course, various catalysis are classified and explained by the reaction mechanism. In addition, the development of catalytic asymmetric synthesis and application of these catalysis to the industrial synthesis of organic fine chemicals will also be introduced. Finally, students acquire the ability to apply organometallic catalysis to organic synthesis.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students acquire the following ability:
(1) Ability to explain "reduction reactions" (hydrogenation reactions, hydrosilylation reactions, and hydroboration reactions).
(2) Ability to explain "oxidation reactions" (epoxidation reactions, dihydroxylation reactions, and dehydrogenation reactions).
(3) Ability to explain "coupling reactions" (carbon-carbon-bond forming reactions, carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions, carbonylation reactions, and carbon-hydrogen bond activation reactions).
(4) Ability to apply organometallic catalysis (1)-(3) to organic synthesis.

Keywords

Class flow

This course covers reduction reactions, oxidation reactions, and coupling reactions, in that order. The instructor will also introduce examples of the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of optically active compounds, and examples of applying it to the industrial synthesis of organic fine chemicals as the need arises. In the final class, exercises and commentaries will be conducted to check understanding.
