Aims & Learning Objectives:
To describe some modern aspects of organic synthesis, including, the use of unconventional elements in synthesis.
After studying this Unit, students should be able to:
* Appreciate why organoelement chemistry is used in synthesis.
* Describe a wide range of new synthetic transformations.
* Describe fully the mechanism of these reactions.
* Apply the information learnt to solve new problems.
Content:
