| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course collates and presents up-to-date literature on the newest findings in drug discovery research, including total and retrosynthetic analysis of natural products, the design of asymmetric catalyst and asymmetric ligands, the reaction mechanisms of asymmetric catalytic reactions, new reactions using organometallic reagents, molecular phylogenetic analysis of medical plants, the biosynthesis and genetic research of plant secondary metabolites, drug development, and process synthesis. These are used as the basis for presentations and discussions, the aims of which are that students will add fundamental approaches to their expertise, learn about the interpretation of data and logicality, and develop problem-solving skills to move forward with research and deal with various scientific problems. | |||
| Course Goals |
(1) To understand, summarize, and consider the latest findings in medical and organic chemistry. (2) To develop the ability to convey one's opinions precisely in presentations and discussion. (3) To learn fundamental approaches in the interpretation of individual data and logicality. (4) To develop problem-solving skills in order to move forward with research and deal with various scientific problems. |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy | Evaluation will be based on class participation (participation in presentations and discussion: 50 points) and the creation of seminar materials (50 points). | |||
| Course Requirements | None | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) |
Before their presentations, students should study and understand the material, and prepare presentation materials. They should also practice doing their presentations. If students do not understand something in the seminars, they should study and learn about it independently. |
