The main objective of this course is to acquire a global vision of the tools allowing the synthetis of natural molecules : synthetic strategies, the proper choice of condensation and macrocyclisation reagents etc... This course will also relie on the in-depth study of research publications.
The total or hemi-synthesis of the following class of molecules will be covered : - epothilones - steroids - polyenes - taxol - biomimetic synthesis of natural products.
The evaluation is, in principle, a written examination. But, as a function of the number of student, the evaluation can be realized by a the preparation and oral presentation of a bibliographic topic related to the field of natural product synthesis.
The publications will be indicated and available on webcampus.
