Course Overview

The ‘Metal Mediated Synthesis-I’ online course is a study of the various concepts and theories involved in organometallic chemistry. The students of this elective program are enabled to explore the aspects of organic synthesis from natural simple molecules to pharmaceutically significant compounds. This free online certification program is provided by the Swayam education portal and the course classes are held online for a period of four weeks through video lectures and other online resources.

The course instructor for this chemistry course at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels is the associate professor from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Dr. Debabrata Maiti. The candidates of this NPTEL(National Program for Technology Enhanced Learning) course will get an opportunity to discuss the concepts of carbine chemistry and oxidative cyclization.

The ‘Metal Mediated Synthesis-I’ training program helps students to gain a certificate and credit points after completing the course and evaluative assessments in accordance with the eligibility standards.
