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.
