Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: IN THE CLASSROOM 1. Apply the principles of acid-base chemistry to organic reactions. 2. Apply molecular orbital theory to explain the chemical character of molecules containing conjugated and aromatic pi bonding. 3. Analyze and appropriately apply major bonding theories and models to molecular structures and to predict/explain reactions. 4. For the common classes (such as aromatics, carbonyl compounds, amines, amides, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, nucleic acids and proteins) of organic molecules: a. describe their characteristic structures, b. relate molecular structure to physical properties, c. correlate molecular structure with names, d. describe characteristic reaction mechanisms, . state specific reactions. 5. Apply knowledge of reaction mechanisms to predict products. 6. Apply knowledge of specific reactions to synthesis problems. 7. Apply structural knowledge to explain function of biochemical 8. Use the Principles of Green Chemistry to evaluate chemical reactions. IN THE LABORATORY 9. Describe, and safely and properly conduct, the techniques of melting point determination, distillations (simple, fractional and steam), refluxing, recrystallization, extraction, chromatography, and spectroscopies as appropriate. 10. Use chemical references to gather information about organic compounds. 11. Apply laboratory techniques to the preparation and/or characterization of a variety of organic compounds. 12. Use analytical techniques such as melting point determination and spectroscopic techniques to identify laboratory products. 13. Keep a proper laboratory notebook and report experimental results using a formal report. 14. Evaluate experiments both qualitatively and quantitatively for technique, results, and to analyze experimental errors. Required Materials: Technical Requirements: |
