| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course provides an opportunity for students to revisit material covered in the second semester of basic organic chemistry using English. The two purposes of this course are to ensure that students have a firm foundation in basic organic chemistry and to learn to proficiently apply these concepts in English. This course is beneficial for students who have already taken the second semester of basic organic chemistry or who have an interest in learning organic chemistry in English. | |||
| Course Goals | This course aims to help students have a good understanding of basic organic chemistry, particularly in regards to basic organic reactions of alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
The course will cover the following topics: Introduction Stereochemistry (Chapter 5) Reactions of Alkenes and Alkynes (Chapter 8) Aromatic Compounds (Chapter 9) Each topic will be covered in approximately 1 to 5 weeks based upon the needs of the class. If time permits or the students are actively interested the class could also cover: Alkyl Halides: Nucleophilic Substitutions and Eliminations (Chapter 12) Alcohols, Phenols and Thiols (Chapter 13) A feedback session will take place one week after the final exam. |
