Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] In this course, "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) will be explained.
[Aim of the course] The organometallic catalysis chemistry is extremely important in not only laboratory organic synthesis but also
industrial organic synthesis. In this course, various kinds of catalysis are classified and explained by the reaction mechanism. In addition, the
development of asymmetric variants and applications of 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

Students will acquire the following abilities by taking this course:
(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

Reduction reactions, hydrogenation reactions, hydrosilylation reactions, hydroboration reactions, oxidation reactions, epoxidation reactions, dihydroxylation reactions, dehydrogenation reactions, coupling reactions, carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions, carbonylation reactions, carbon-hydrogen bond activation reactions

Competencies that will be developed

Class flow

This course will proceed in the following order: "reduction reactions", "oxidation reactions", and "coupling reactions". In addition, the
development of asymmetric variants and applications of such catalysis to the industrial synthesis of organic fine chemicals will also be
introduced. In the last day, exercise problems and interpretation of them will be carried out to check the level of understanding.
