Explores strategies for total synthesis of complex molecules through electrophilic substitution reactions on aromatic compounds, discussing challenges and applications.
Covers catalytic asymmetric reactions, including activation of electrophiles, use of iodine reagents, and various catalytic reactions in organic chemistry.
Explores nucleophilic substitutions through SN1 and SN2 mechanisms, stereochemical inversion, leaving group quality, and nucleophilicity determination.
