Course Objectives This course is to present an overview the application of structure elucidation and synthetic methods to organic chemistry. Also, this course focuses intensely on synthetic organic chemistry including organic functional group transformations, mechanisms, designing efficient syntheses in the field. This course also introduces the students to new methods which will enable them to understand current literature.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Learn how to study and apply the principles of organic chemistry to synthesis
  • Develop various synthetic strategies to get complex molecules
  • Develop relationships between synthetic organic chemistry reactions and structures.
  • Learn how to organize, understand and present complex information.
  • Learn how to study and apply the principles of organic chemistry to synthesis
  • Improve reading and writing and presentation skill.
Course Content Stereochemistry, carbocations, carbanions, free radicals, carbenes, and nitrenes, aliphatic substitution, organometallic substitution, aromatic substitution, aliphatic, alkenyl, and alkynyl substitution, addition to carbon?hetero multiple bonds, eliminations, rearrangements.
