Title Radicals in Organic Synthesis
Description Radicals are highly reactive species that can be applied for a wide range of unique synthetic transformations. The principles that govern radical reactions will be presented and discussed in detail. The most important classes of radical transformations involving C–C and C–X (X = heteoatom) bond formations will be covered. Classical tin-based chemistry, tin-free reactions, as well as single electron transfer processes will be presented. An introduction to ‘‘greener’’ (more sustainable) techniques to generate radical species will be given, with an emphasis on photoredox-mediated processes. Exercise sessions will be available for each chapters.

2 additional lessons will be defined together with the students during the semester to catch up the missing two lessons from the first week.
