Course Objectives The main object of this course is to provide students with knowledge about the properties of compounds, reactions and mechanisms in organic chemistry that play a role in science and engineering by improving their analytical thinking skills. Also, students will develop critical thinking and problem solving skills on organic chemistry synthesis and applications with laboratory experiments.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • • Learn the interpretation of structural formulas
  • • Describe representative carbon compounds, functional groups and the organic compound classes
  • • Learn Nomenclature, Structure and Conformation of Alkanes and Cycloalkanes
  • • Understand stereochemistry including isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, chirality and configuration
  • • Designs simple organic transformations
  • • Understand the importance of organic chemistry in science, biology and industry
  • • Perform experiments on the application of the chemistry on different concepts by laboratory practices and evaluate the results
Course Content Basic concepts and definitions, bonds in organic compounds, stereochemistry, classification of organic compounds, addition and elimination reactions, alcohols, ethers, aromatics, amines, carboxylic acids, carbohydrates and oils, amino acids and proteins, simple organic conversion designs.
