Goals The aim of this lesson is to teach the student about alkyl halides, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, alkenes, alkynes, etc. To provide theoretical knowledge for simple or multi-step chemical syntheses carried out in the laboratory, to write general reaction mechanisms and to introduce the stereochemistry of organic compounds.
Course Content Carbon Compounds and Chemical Bonds, Acids Bases Alkanes, Functional Groups, Intermolecular forces, Infrared Spectroscopy, Stereo chemistry: Chiral molecules, Ionic Reactions, Displacement and dissociation reactions, Alkenes, Alkynes,
Learning Outcomes - Can define the role of carbon in organic chemistry and biochemistry. Can recognize organic compounds
- Identify and classify the major functional groups. These include alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, amines, alcohols, and alkyl halides.
- Name and draw the structure for molecules of the main functional groups, including cis-trans and R-S notation.
- The student evaluate the reaction mechanism on the basis of given data.
