ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

概要

Organic chemistry is a chemistry of compounds which consist mainly of carbon and hydrogen atoms. In this course, we will learn the molecular structures of alkanes and their properties. This course corresponds to the curriculum policy #2.

目標

At the end of the course the student will be able to: 1) draw resonance forms of simple molecules 2) draw Lewis structures 3) draw Kekulé structure 4) draw condensed formulas 5) draw bond-line formulas 6) explain geometry of molecules in relation to hybrid orbitals 7) identify electrophiles and nucleophiles 8) use curved "electron-pushing" arrows to depict reaction mechanisms 9) define Lewis acids and bases 10) define Brønsted acid 11) name alkanes 12) explain physical properties of alkanes 13) explain conformations of simple alkanes 14) draw Newman projections 15) relate C-H bond strengths and radical stabilities 16) explain the difference between homolysis and heterolysis 17) depict radical chain mechanism 18) explain relative reactivity and selectivity of chlorination of alkanes 19) use molecular models 20) name cycloalkanes 21) physical properties of cycloalkanes 22) depict stereoisomers of cycloalkanes 23) draw conformations of cyclohexane 24) predict the most stable conformation of substituted cyclohexanes 25) recognize constitutional isomers 26) recognize stereoisomers 27) explain the difference in the physical properties of enantiomers 28) explain the concepts of enantiomers and diastereomers 29) distinguish chiral structures from achiral ones 30) draw Fischer projections 31) use the sequence rules of Cahn, Ingold, and Prelog 32) assign the absolute configurations of stereocenters 33) explain the separation (resolution) methods of enantiomers. 34) depict the mechanism of SN2 reaction 35) explain the stereochemisty in SN2 reaction 36) predict the reactivity of haloalkanes in SN2 reaction 37) explain the leaving-group ability based on the strength of the conjugate acid 38) predict strength of the nucleophilicity in relation to negative charge 39) predict strength of the nucleophilicity in relation to the periodic table 40) predict strength of the nucleophilicity in relation to the polarity of solvent 41) depict the mechanism of SN1 reaction 42) explain the stereochemisty in SN1 reaction 43) depict the mechanism of E1 reaction 44) depict the mechanism of E2 reaction 45) predict the major products for reaction between haloalkanes and reagents

授業外の学習

This course should be taken after the students have finished the following courses: "SCT1010E: Overview of Science & Technology" and " SCT1190E: Basic Chemistry". The students are strongly encouraged to prepare for the classes in advance (90 min) by reading the textbook and to review the previous classes (100 min) by going through the documents delivered in the class. Solving the in-chapter exercises and the end-of chapter problems in the textbook is recommended.
