Homework and Exam Problems
from Rebecca Braslau's one quarter
Graduate Course on Organic Synthesis
at the University of California, Santa Cruz
Disclamer:
These examples have been garnered from the primary literature over years of teaching organic synthesis for a course aimed at first-year organic graduate students and advanced undergraduates, and were incorporated into either homework or exam problems. This is in no way intended to be a comprehensive collection. There are many, many beautiful organic transformations in elegant syntheses that are not included: no judgement is intended.
It is my hope that these problems will be useful to both students and instructors.
