Course description and aims
By taking this course, students will master "Organic Process Chemistry," the industrial synthesis of fine chemicals.
Student learning outcomes
実務経験と講義内容との関連 (又は実践的教育内容)
Based on his 10 years of experience in process organic chemistry at a chemical manufacturer, the lectures were organized so that they could be understood even at the undergraduate level. Specifically, after teaching the fundamentals of process organic chemistry, we picked up characteristic processes that have actually been mass-synthesized or industrialized, and arranged the topics so that students can learn them systematically based on the fundamental technologies.
Keywords
Pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical synthesis, organic material synthesis, asymmetric synthesis, industrial synthesis, process chemistry, unit operations
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
Class flow
Proceed according to the lesson plan. Exercises and explanations will be given in the last class to check the level of understanding.
