CHM-2020 Organic Chemistry II

Credits 3
Continuation of CHM-2010 with emphasis on reaction mechanisms, and synthesis of organic compounds.

Prerequisite(s): CHM-2010.

Course Outcomes

Correlate functional groups and other structural features with the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds.
Predict mechanisms and products of reactions.
Design reaction schemes.
Characterize reactants/intermediates as nucleophiles, bases, electrophiles, aromatic/antiaromatic/nonaromatic, or according to inductive effects, resonance effects, charge concentration/polarization, stability/instability, hyperconjugation, and other important attributes.
Identify major name reactions and reaction types, such as Diels Alder, EAS, nucleophilic addition, nucleophilic substitution, condensation, reduction, oxidation, substitution, elimination, organic acid base, and addition.
Analyze the regiochemical, stereochemical, conformational, and other energetics associated with substrate and reagent features in organic reactions (by computational and other methodologies).
Apply the IUPAC system of nomenclature to organic compounds.
