Organic Chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of carbon-containing compounds. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of organic chemistry, focusing on:
- Molecular Structure and Bonding: Understanding hybridization, functional groups, and stereochemistry.
- Reactions and Mechanisms: Exploring various organic reactions, including substitution, elimination, and addition reactions, with an emphasis on reaction mechanisms.
- Spectroscopy: Introducing techniques such as NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry for analyzing organic compounds.
- Synthesis and Retrosynthesis: Developing skills in planning and executing multi-step organic syntheses.
- Biological Applications: Examining the role of organic compounds in biological systems, including biomolecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Identify and describe the structure and reactivity of organic molecules.
- Predict the products of organic reactions and understand the underlying mechanisms.
- Utilize spectroscopic methods to analyze organic compounds.
- Design synthetic pathways for organic compounds.
