Intended to give insight into the specific and fundamental role of organic reactions occurring in nature, to students of all scientific disciplines who have been introduced to organic chemistry and to the life sciences. The emphasis will be on the patterns of reactivity among natural products, rather than on the biochemical roles that these molecules play. The laboratory will introduce students to experimental approaches to biomimetic, biological and pharmaceutical chemistry. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 3 Practicum/Lab hours and 1 Tutorial hoursPrerequisite(s): CHEM 250. Note: CHEM 115 and BMSC 200 are recommended. Students with credit for CHEM 252 may not take CHEM 255 for credit. Note: There will be costs in addition to tuition fees.
