Course Outcomes List
Chemistry 231: Organic Chemistry II
Students will correctly employ reaction mechanisms to describe the progress of organic
reactions, including reactions involving more than four steps.
Given the molecular formula of a compound of basic to intermediate complexity and spectral
data (including a combination of IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR/DEPT, and MS spectra), students
correctly identify important structural features of the compound and synthesize the information
obtained to elucidate the compound's structure.
Given a specified target molecule of intermediate complexity, students develop a retrosynthesis
to a specified starting material, and construct a valid synthesis scheme based on the
retrosynthesis, employing protecting groups where appropriate.
Students predict the products of reactions of benzene and mono- or di-substituted aromatic
compounds in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions and nucleophilic aromatic substitution
reactions.
Students determine correct IUPAC and common names for compounds containing one or more
of the following functional groups: alcohol, amine, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester,
amide.
Students correctly predict the major product(s) of compounds containing carbon-oxygen double
bonds with common reagents.
Students predict the product(s) of reactions of dienes, including (1) reactions employing kinetic
or thermodynamic control to favor a particular regioisomer, and (2) reactions with dienophiles
via the Diels-Alder reaction.
Students correctly predict the products of reactions involving bio-organic compounds
(carbohydrates, amino acids, etc.), including (1) synthesis of carbohydrates and their derivatives
and (2) peptide synthesis.
