| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
This course is intended for Japanese and international students registered in natural science majors who are interested in learning chemistry in English. Basic Organic Chemistry II explains the fundamental concepts behind the reactivity of organic compounds. This course can be taken alone or in combination with Basic Organic Chemistry I. |
|||
| Course Goals | Students will be able to describe basic organic reaction mechanisms (nucleophilic substitutions, eliminations and electrophilic additions) and apply this knowledge to predict the major product in organic reactions, such as those involving hydrocarbons, alcohols, alkyl halides and alkenes. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
The semester will be divided as follows: Week 1: General Concepts and Stereoisomerism Week 2: Enantiomers and Optical Activity Week 3: Resonance (Review) Week 4: Chemical Reactivity Week 5: Substitution Reactions (Part 1) Week 6: Substitution Reactions (Part 2) Week 7: Mid-term Exam Week 8: Alkene and Elimination Reactions (Part1) Week 9: Alkene and Elimination Reactions (Part 2) Week 10: Substitution vs. Elimination Week 11: Addition Reactions (Part 1) Week 12: Addition Reactions (Part 2) Week 13: Synthesis Week 14: Review of the Main Concepts Week 15: Final Exam Week 16: Feedback |
