NEW COURSE
Over 50% of recently published API syntheses contain at least one transition-metal-catalysed step. Not being familiar with the newer synthetic and mechanistic developments in transition-metal catalysis may severely limit a process chemist’s toolbox.
This course will cover the key principles of catalysis and the basic chemistry of transition metals needed to understand typical catalytic cycles. The course will then describe in detail the reactions which are most useful in the pharma industry today. For each reaction, a basic mechanistic discussion will be presented, followed by a discussion of the synthetic scope and potential side processes. Practical suggestions on how to approach and successfully scale up these reactions will be provided, supplemented by recently published case studies.
Finally, the course will describe important new tools which will probably be embraced by the industry in the next decade and will provide resources for further reading.
The course will conclude with an open problem session, designed to enhance attendee participation and reinforce the notions learned.
We are delighted to provide this NEW online course, it will be divided up into four sessions using an online platform. Dates and times are as follows and set in UK Time (British Summer Time):
Monday, March 31 | 2.00 – 5.00pm BST
Tuesday, April 1 | 2.00 – 5.00pm BST
Monday, April 7 | 2.00 – 5.00pm BST
Tuesday, April 8 | 2.00 – 5.00pm BST
