CHM-206 Organic Chemistry II - Lecture Only

A continuation of the study of the reactions, mechanisms, and synthesis of organic compounds including amines, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids, carbonyl-containing compounds and their derivatives as well as a brief introduction to bio-organic molecules. The basic spectroscopic methods and principles to determine the structure of organic compounds is developed.

Topic Outline

1. Spectroscopy 
   1. The student should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the principles of structure determination for organic molecules using the tools of ultra violet-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
2. Benzene and Aromaticity; Structure and Reactivity 
   1. The students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the concept of aromaticity and relate it to the structure and chemistry of benzene.  
3. Carbonyl Chemistry: Aldehydes and Ketones 
   1. The student should be able to demonstrate specific knowledge of the nomenclature, synthesis, and chemical properties of aldehydes and ketones, and should be able to explain the important reactions mechanistically.  
4. Carboxylic Acids and their Derivatives
   1. The students should be able to demonstrate knowledge of the nomenclature, synthesis methods, and chemical properties of carboxylic acids and other compounds considered to be derived from them, and should be able to explain selected reactions mechanisms.  
5. Amines 
   1. The students should be able to name, prepare and predict the reactions of amines, and discuss how structural factors influence the basicity of amines.  
6. Selected Topics 
   1. The student should be able to define terms related to carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, polymers and heterocyclic compounds, to recognize their basic structures and to discuss the important chemical, biochemical or commercial aspects of each of these families of compounds.
