This course is designed to provide a fundamental overview of organic chemistry to students interested in pursuing a career in the sciences. Upon successful completion of this class, students will understand the relationship between structure and function of molecules, the major classes of reactions, reaction energetics and mechanisms, synthesis of organic compounds, and how to determine structure via various spectroscopic techniques. Several themes are prevalent in each unit of study: nomenclature, chemical and physical properties, structures, mechanisms, common molecules, and the diversity of organic molecules in plants, bacteria, and animals. Many chapters in our textbook also integrate the pharmaceutical or industrial importance of specific compounds.
Organic I
The course provides an essential understanding of organic chemistry in terms of the following:
Organic II
The course provides an essential understanding of organic chemistry in terms of the following:
1- Students will be able to predict bonding and three-dimensional structure, including the chirality of organic compounds.
2- Students will be able to predict the reactivity of specific functional groups,
3- Students will be able to construct efficient, simple mechanistic pathways for the synthesis of a given compound.
4- Identify products by name and /or structure for major organic reactions
5- students will understand the relationship between structure and function of molecules, the major classes of reactions, reaction energetics, and mechanisms, synthesis of organic compounds.
