Outline and Purpose of the Course In this subject, a systematic approach is taken to teach students about organic chemistry, which is needed in order for them to work as researchers and engineers. Since Organic Chemistry III is a continuation of Organic Chemistry I, which is offered in the second half of sophomore year, and Organic Chemistry II, which is offered in the first half of junior year, the subject uses the same textbook as Organic Chemistry I and II and conducts lectures based on the contents described in Chapters 22 to 26 of the textbook. During lectures, students are given a detailed explanation of reactions that are characteristic of electron-deficient alkenes and aromatic compounds, and are taught about the protection and deprotection of functional groups essential for the synthesis of complex organic molecules. In addition, in order to help students understand the chemistry of carbonyl compounds, which are one of the most important types of compounds in organic chemistry, lectures are given with a focus on the varied reactivity of enolates.
Course Goals Goals include deepening one’s understanding of the reactions of aromatic compounds, systematically understanding the reactivity of functional groups, as well as completely mastering the chemistry of carbonyl compounds, which are one of the most important types of compounds in organic chemistry (alkylation reactions of enolates, aldol condensation reactions, and other condensation reactions, etc.). In the process of reaching these goals, students will also consolidate the contents they have learned so far from Organic Chemistry I and II, and will strive to master a high level of organic chemistry, which they absolutely need in order to work as researchers and engineers at the forefront of society.
