Our mission and Philosophy
Chem
143D is an advanced organic synthesis lab that aims to expose students
to
various concepts and tools available to the modern organic chemist. The
goal of
this lab is to better train students for the “real world” outside the
students
labs. Modern organic chemistry demands efficient synthesis to minimize
costs
and protect the environment. We believe that efficient synthesis
originates
from understanding the fundamental physical-organic principals of
reactions.
It takes two to Tango...
This course was conceived as Pfizer
scientists and UCSD faculty
jointly identified a need for improving the training of chemistry
undergraduates
by exposing them to the research methods used in drug development
laboratories.
A Generous donation from Pfizer allowed the creation
of this course that was taught for the first time during spring 04.
