Explores stereoselective synthesis through Wittig and Julia reactions, emphasizing reactivity and regioselectivity of carbocations and the use of borane derivatives.
Explores catalytic asymmetric reactions in organic chemistry, focusing on electrophilic allylation, C-C bond activation, and chiral enolate generation.
Introduces the basics of heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on catalyst types, surface reactivity, and the role of surface energy in catalytic processes.
