Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee.

Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from Nordic countries. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list.


Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

1. Design rational and efficient routes to target compunds, including routes suitable for optimization and routes suitable for large-scale production

2. Acqure overview over and critically evaluate existing routes to targets (from hits to APIs)

3. Demonstrate in-depth understanding of common useful reactions in medicinal chemistry, includig reaction mechanisms, scope and limitations

4. Demonstrate in-depth understanding of specially covered topics, including metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, photoredox chemistry, and late-stage functionalization


Content
The course will contain advanced contemporary synthetic methods in medicinal chemistry, including design of synthetic routes for different purposes (e.g. synthesis of specific analogues, libraries, upscaling), retrosythetic analysis, practical factors, environmental factors and safety.
The students will be trained in analysis of synthetic routes from the literature and in design new synthetic routes.
Contemporary topics will be covered, include cross-coupling reactions, photoredox synthesis, late-strage functionalization, and automated synthesis


Participants
The target group is PhD students withing medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry and related areas.


Relevance to graduate programmes
The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH:

Pharmaceutical Sciences (Drug Research Academy)
All graduate programmes


Language
English


Form
The course will consist of lectures, discussions, exercises, group work, and presentations from the participants.
