CHEM 423N/523N - The Chemistry of Natural Products
A comprehensive overview of the origin of small molecule natural products will be presented. Sources of these
molecules include plants, bacteria, and fungi. Organic chemistry will be emphasized in this course as the
transformational process that occurs during biosynthesis. A mechanism-based approach will be used to assist in
the understanding for each transformation. During this course the student will become familiar with not only
the biosynthetic origin of natural products but also the impact on society and social developments as medicines,
poisons, and dyes. The focus on chemical classes will include the study of polyketides, isoprenoids, and
alkaloids.
