| Outline and Purpose of the Course | For natural science chemistry students (1st year class (T17-T22) designated in the Department of Industrial Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering). This course will serve as an entrance to systematically study organic chemistry, which is essential for understanding useful substances such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fragrances, and materials at the molecular level. This course gives the opportunity to learn English while studying chemistry, an important skill for chemists. This course covers the Basic Organic Chemistry I 「基礎有機化学I」 course held for classes T17-22 in Japanese. | |||
| Course Goals | Learn the basics of organic chemistry as a molecular science and form the basis for learning advanced organic chemistry. Also, the course provides the information for successive attendance in Basic Organic Chemistry II course. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Covalent bonding and shapes of molecules (3 Lessons) Describing electronic structure of atoms, covalent bonds and molecular polarities. Understanding of molecular structures using valence bond and molecular orbital methods and resonance. Alkanes and cycloalkanes (2 Lessons) The structure, conformation, and physical properties of alkanes and cycloalkanes will be described. Acids and Bases (3 Lessons) Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases, acid dissociation constants, pKa , the relative strengths of acids and bases, the equilibrium of the acid-base reactions, reaction coordinate diagrams, molecular structure and acidity, and Lewis acids and bases are described. Alkenes: Bonding and properties (1 Lesson) The structure, character of the alkenes, and physical properties of alkenes will be described. Reaction mechanisms (1 Lesson) How to describe and understand the reaction mechanisms of organic reactions. Alkene reactions (4 Lessons) The reaction mechanisms, reaction selectivity, and thermodynamics of electrophilic addition reactions to alkenes, oxidation reactions and reduction reactions of alkenes will be described. Feedback (1 Lesson) |
