Course Description: Aromatic Compounds, Spectroscopic Methods of Structure Determination, Electrophylic
Substitution, Carboxylic acid and their derivatives, Amines.
Learning Outcomes: 1. Define Organic chemistry in terms of the role of carbon in organic chemistry.
2. Identify and classify the major functional groups. These include alkanes, alkenes,
aromatics, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, amines,
alcohols, and alkyl halides.
3. Predict reactivity of compounds based on their size and functional group.
4. Define and recognize the different types of isomerism, including geometric, stereo,
and constitutional.
5. Explain and describe the meaning of primary, secondary, and tertiary substituents.
6. Name and draw the structure for molecules of the main functional groups, including
cis-trans and R-S notation.
7. Predict general products for basic simple organic reactions.
8. Give the mechanism of one common organic reaction
