Description
A survey of organic chemistry. Topics include structure, function and chemistry of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acids, amines, and related compounds; mechanisms, and stereochemistry. Lab work required. Prerequisite: CHEM& 121. Formerly CHEM 108, Organic Chemistry for Health Sciences. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Depict normal chain and cyclic alkanes, alkenes and alkynes with structural formulas, condensed structural formulas, and line angle drawings; use these depictions to differentiate between structural, constitutional, and geometric isomers.
Recognize and explain the characteristic chemistry of these organic functional groups: alcohols, amines, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, anhydrides, esters and amides.
Complete elementary organic reaction mechanisms via repositioning of electron pairs.
Differentiate between aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons; recognize six common aromatic molecules: toluene, phenol, aniline, benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and xylene.
Name simple aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with substituents; designate chiral centers as R or S.
Match the structures of particular organic compounds discussed in class with their important biological effects or commercial uses.
Demonstrate the safe use of laboratory glassware, equipment and reagents in order to distinguish between and synthesize simple organic molecules; critique laboratory data in terms of precision, accuracy and explanatory power.
