Course Objectives: |
To remind about fundamental organic chemistry, some terms in organic chemisrty and reaction mechanism. Lessons are to improve the capacity of students to classify reaction type and mechanism. To ensure knowledge and skills on subjects of working in organic reaction mechanism. To teach and develop skills in organic reaction mechanism with literature examples |
Course Content: |
Fundamental organic Chemistry. Basic terms in Organic Chemistry. Acid base definitions. Nucleophile, electrophile, carbocation, carbanion, radical. Type of arrows in Organic and mechanism Application. Discussion of Reaction mechanisms and discussion in Aldol, Claisen, Cannizaro, haloform, malonic ester, Michael reactions. Some Reaction mechanisms discussion from literature and articles. |
