Ⅲ. Course Description and Objectives
A one-semester lecture-only course in Organic Chemistry suitable for students majoring in all
disciplines. Upon completing this course students should know how to recognize compounds in the
main organic compound classes and to name alkanes, cycloalkanes, haloalkanes, alcohols, ethers,
alkenes, and alkynes, and draw their structures. Students should gain an understanding and facility
with Lewis structures, principles of bonding, VSEPR and hybridization, resonance, and
stereochemistry. Students should be able to predict the major products of chemical reactions
involving alkanes, cycloalkanes, haloalkanes, alcohols, ethers, alkenes, and alkynes, and understand
the application of basic principles of thermodynamics and kinetics to these transformations.
Students should be able to formulate reaction mechanisms of each of these processes and
understand their implications. They should be able to combine this knowledge to devise short multistep methods for synthesis of molecules in these compound classes. Students should have a
working command of the use of IR and NMR spectroscopy in the elucidation of structures of simple
organic molecules.

Ⅴ. Class Outline (timing of chapter coverage is approximate)
Time permitting, review sessions based on old exams will be held during the
class immediately preceding each exam day. In order to make this possible,
we may move faster through some chapters than this schedule indicates.
