| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
(Aim) The course's focus is to introduce and discuss the latest literature in organic chemistry, synthetic reactions, asymmetric synthesis, total synthesis of natural products, molecular recognition, stereochemistry, supramolecular chemistry, organometallic chemistry, structural organic chemistry, functional molecules, and computational chemistry. It will equip students with specialist knowledge and provide practical training in logical thinking through the latest research papers. Students will develop their communication skills as researchers through presentations and discussions. The course provides the foundation for students to develop into independent researchers with a willingness to cooperate, an ability to think constructively, and the power to see the big picture. (Summary) The course focuses on basic research in the above fields, with applied research introduced where appropriate, and with plenty of discussion. The person assigned to speak will prepare a summary and give a presentation, followed by a class discussion. Some classes will be in English. |
|||
| Course Goals | Thorough discussions about the latest research findings will help students develop the ability to identify the scientific events and principles that produce these results. Discussions will also be held with the intention of stimulating ideas that will lead to the production of highly innovative and original research. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
1-15: The following seminars will be held. Introduction and discussion of research on regioselective and stereoselective bond formation methods Introduction and discussion of research on development of asymmetric synthesis methods Introduction and discussion of research on precise molecular recognition Introduction and discussion of research on the total synthesis of bioactive natural products with complex three-dimensional structures Introduction and discussion of research on supramolecular design and synthesis, and the analysis of three-dimensional structures Introduction and discussion of molecular structures, chirality, reaction, and stereochemistry Introduction and discussion of research on enolate structures and reactivity Introduction and discussion of research on organometallic chemistry Introduction and discussion of research on molecular modeling using molecular orbitals and molecular force fields, and reaction mechanism analysis using molecular orbitals |
