Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Describe the bonding and geometry of organic molecules. 2. Apply the principles of resonance to the structures and energies of organic molecules. 3. Apply the principles of equilibrium and kinetics to organic reactions. 4. Identify and describe the stereochemical aspects of the structures of organic molecules. 5. Apply the principles of acid-base chemistry to organic reactions. 6. Apply the principles of inductive and steric effects to the reactivities of organic molecules. 7. Evaluate the reactants and solvents and be able to predict both the products and the reaction mechanism for SN2, SN1, E2 and E1 reactions. 8. For hydrocarbons, halides, and alcohols: a. describe the characteristic structure, b. relate molecular structure to physical properties, c. correlate molecular structure with names, d. describe characteristic reaction mechanisms, e. state specific reactions 9. Apply knowledge of specific reactions to synthesis problems. 10. Use the Principles of Green Chemistry to evaluate chemical reactions. 11. 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. 12. Apply laboratory techniques to the preparation and/or characterization of a variety of organic compounds. 13. Use analytical techniques such as melting point determination and spectroscopic techniques to identify laboratory products. 14. Use chemical references to gather information about organic compounds. 15. Keep a proper laboratory notebook and report experimental results using a formal report. 16. Evaluate experiments both qualitatively and quantitatively for technique, results, and to analyze experimental errors. Required Materials: Technical Requirements: |
