Advanced Organic Chemistry: Chemistry at Phosphorus(V)

In this installment of the Synthesis Workshop Advanced Organic Chemistry course, Dr. Katherine Forbes (Jacobsen lab alumnus, Harvard University PhD) joins us to discuss the field of phosphorous (V) chemistry. This episode is hosted by our Editorial Board member Andy Tran.
This episode has an associated problem set, available for download in the Problem Sets or Courses section of our homepage at synthesis-workshop.com.
Dr. Forbes has previously joined us in a Research Spotlight episode discussing her work in Science! Be sure to check out the talk here: • Enantioselective Synth...

Can’t believe phosphorus barely has any reactions around it, It’s so underrated and I wonder what other new applications in organic synth it can have
