Use of
Microwaves in Organic Chemistry: Principles and Applications
Taylor Room, NINT, University of Alberta
Who should attend:
Chemists from industry, academia or government who are involved in basic research in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, or related synthetic topics. These could include medicinal, organic, or combinatorial chemists. A basic knowledge of chemistry is required. The course is designed to spark the interest in this new emerging field, and improve the synthetic productivity of any practicing B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. chemists.
Key topics:
The
material covered in
class is drawn from the literature and the market-place, right up to
the date
of the course, and focuses primarily on an introduction to this new
field, new
synthetic strategies, protocols, and equipment disclosed within the
last
12-month period.
- Introduction to
this new field of chemistry
- Theory and
concepts
behind microwave synthesis
- Major kinds of
commercially available microwave reactors
- Literature review
- Applying
microwave chemistry to synthetic programs
- Future trends
for microwave chemistry in process and scale-up
Information
covered in class
will be reinforced with several case studies from major pharmaceutical
and
academic laboratories illustrating the production of chemical entities
and
libraries to meet different needs using a wide variety of microwave
techniques
(automated sequential vs parallel).
How you will benefit from this course:
- Gain knowledge
of the tools and techniques available
- Understand the
applications of strategies used in microwave synthesis with some
examples from the
pharmaceutical industry
- Receive an extensive compilation of literature for synthesis and related topics
