| We have developed a new, microscale experiment for the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory in which students synthesize the commercial anticoagulant warfarin in one step using a chiral organocatalyst. This experiment effectively demonstrates the concepts of asymmetric organocatalysis, transition-state stereochemistry, thin-layer and column chromatography, NMR spectroscopy, optical rotation, imines, Michael additions, and hemiacetals. This experiment is appropriate for a second-semester or advanced organic chemistry laboratory. |
