Objectives of the Course O1. Defining and employing the vocabulary of organic chemistry.
O2. Drawing correct structural representations of organic molecules.
O3. Writing reasonable transformations and mechanisms for alkanes, alkenes,
alkynes, alkyl halides, alcohols, aromatic compounds and carbonyl compound
O4. Employing stereochemical considerations when analyzing mechanisms and transformations.
Course Content This condensed organic chemistry course deals primarily with the basic principles of understanding the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. Emphasis is on substitution and elimination reactions and chemical reactions of the carbonyl
group. The course also provides an introduction to the aromatic compounds and basic aromatic reactions. It gives information about the stereochemistry of organic molecules and deals with their importance in terms of biological systems.

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon the successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
NoLearning Outcomes
1 Recognize functional group classes commonly encountered in organic chemistry and name representative molecules from each class using IUPAC rules for organic nomenclature
2 Predict structure and reactivity of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, epoxides, and alkylhalides based on such factors as carbon atom hybridization, bond length, bond strength, and bond polarity.
3 Recognize and provide curved arrow mechanisms for the different types of organic reactions.
4 Determine R and S configurations for chiral molecules and distinguish between enantiomers, diastereomers, meso compounds, and conformational isomers.
5 Predict structure and reactivity of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, anhydrides, amides, b-ketocarbonyl containing compounds, amines, and phenols.
6 Recognize and provide curved arrow mechanisms for the following types of organic reactions: electrophilic & nucleophilic aromatic substitution, nucleophilic carbonyl addition, and substitution to a carbonyl.
