Description

Objective:

Upon the successful completion of this course, students will be able to review structure and bonding from general chemistry before introducing organic molecules and functional groups. Students study alkanes & cycloalkanes, stereochemistry, reactions, alkyl halides, alkenes, alkynes and spectroscopy through mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance.

Learning Outcomes:

Predict geometry from a valid Lewis structure
Correlate curved arrows to show the reaction between a nucleophile and an electrophile
Order the highest and lowest energy conformations using Newman projections
Determine if two nonidentical compounds are constitutional isomers, enantiomers, or diastereomers
Calculate ΔHo of a reaction
Predict the appearance of the product(s) of an Sn1 or Sn2 reaction.
Predict the appearance of all products of an elimination reaction.
Calculate degrees of unsaturation
Contrast reactions of acetylide anions
Use spectroscopy to identify compounds.
