Learners enrolled: 251
ABOUT THE COURSE: 
Asymmetric synthesis plays a central role in the field of Organic synthesis. Chirality and biological activity is closely associated hence synthesis of small organic molecule in single enantioemric form is highly desirable. The underlying principles of asymmetric synthesis will help us enormously to design and execute suitable synthetic strategies for optically pure biologically relevant organic molecules. In this course material our main highlight will be to address the reader to become familiar with principles of enolate alkylation for the construction of new C-C bonds and its successful exploration of such strategies enroute to value added enantiopure small organic molecules.

INTENDED-AUDIENCE: UG, PG students. Relevent industrial persons

Instructor bio

Prof. Samik Nanda

IIT Kharagpur
After finishing my PhD in the field of “asymmetric synthesis with the help of enzymes” I was very much interested to carry out an independent research career in the field of asymmetric total synthesis of natural products. Since last fourteen years the research effort of my group was focused on the central theme of “asymmetric synthesis”. We have tried to explore many well developed asymmetric synthesis protocols to access our desired target molecules. We have also developed few in-house evolved asymmetric processes which was also successfully employed to access many enantiopure small organic molecules.

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).
Date and Time of Exams: 25 September 2022 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.
Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 6 assignments out of the total 8 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Kharagpur. It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
