What will I learn?
This practical course walks you through key reactions like aromatic functionalization, electrophilic substitution, benzylic oxidation, and ester formation. It then covers cross-coupling, route design, and optimization, plus safety measures, green chemistry options, and planning for yields and purification to create effective multi-step syntheses confidently.
