Numbering Code U-LAS13 10009 LE60 Year/Term 2022 ・ Second semester
Number of Credits 2 Course Type Lecture
Target Year Mainly 1st year students Target Student For science students
Language English Day/Period Thu.2
Instructor name Juha Lintuluoto (Graduate School of Engineering Associate Professor)
Outline and Purpose of the Course The purpose is to provide the basics of organic chemistry for science students. Specifically, lectures and exercises are undertaken on the physical properties, synthetic methods, and basic reactivity of unsaturated compounds, and alkyl halides which are important organic compounds as basic raw materials for the chemical industry.

All Industrial Chemistry Department Students (groups T17-T22) who passed Basic Organic Chemistry I course can take this course (Thu 2), which covers the corresponding Japanese course (基礎有機化学II). If the time overlaps with the Physical Chemistry Class, consult the course instructors directly.

This course gives the opportunity to learn English while studying chemistry, an important skill for chemists.
Course Goals Students will acquire the basics of organic chemistry, which is essential for fully understanding more deeply organic chemistry and to prepare for the second year studies.
Schedule and Contents Lectures will be given on the basics of organic compounds and reactions, and the naming of organic compounds in Chapter 3 and Chapters 7 to 9 of the textbook described below.

The items and contents of the lectures are as follows.
Chapter 3 Stereoisomerism and Chirality: 3 lectures
Chapter 7 Alkynes: 3 lectures
Chapter 8 Haloalkanes, Halogenation, and Radical Reactions: 3 Lectures
Chapter 9 Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction and β- Elimination Reaction: 3 lectures
Organic Compound Nomenclature: 2 lectures
Feedback: 1 lecture
Evaluation Methods and Policy Exercises during the lecture and report submissions will be set as normal points (maximum 20 points) and added to the results of the regular examination (maximum 80 points). A total of maximum 100 points will be given, and 60 points or more will result passed grade.
The method of conducting the regular test will be decided and announced in mid-December based on the spread of the new coronavirus infection situation.
Course Requirements This course is suitable for industrial chemistry students from groups T17-T22 who passed Basic Organic Chemistry I course.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Prepare for the lessons based on the lesson plan. In addition, after the lecture, answer the report assignments and review the exercises in the textbook to deepen your understanding.
