LATTC Chemistry 211 Fall 2013 Organic Chemistry I Dr. Beatriz E. Ruiz Silva Sections 1684 This 5-­‐unit course studies structure, dynamics, equilibrium and nomenclature of organic compounds including: conformational analysis, potential energy plots, hybridization, reaction mechanisms and molecular modeling. Students employ modern synthetic and chromatographic techniques while performing multistep synthesis in the laboratory. Guest speakers enhance the topics covered in class. This course is part of the transfer sequence for careers in the physical, biological, and health sciences and a requirement for the Associate of Sciences Degree in Chemistry. Chem. 102 is the prerequisite for this class.

Ringing of such items during class or during the lab will result in a deduction of 50 points from the student grade. Ringing during the exams will result in a grade of zero for the exam. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY. Students who violate the academic standards-­‐2013-­‐2014 College Catalog, http://college.lattc.edu/catalog/ will be referred to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and may be expelled from the course and/or the College. Students Learning Outcomes (SLOs) 1. Students will describe structure dynamics and equilibrium of organic compounds using a mechanistic approach. a) Describe bonding and structure of functional groups in organic compounds. b) Name compounds using IUPAC and common rules. c) Relate structure to physical properties and reactivity. d) Inspect conformations of alkanes and cycloalkanes. e) Describe chirality, optical activity and inspect properties of stereoisomers. f) Evaluate acidity of organic compounds and illustrate the thermochemistry of acid-­‐base reactions. g) Describe preparation and reactions of organic compounds including mechanisms, reaction intermediates and potential energy diagrams. h) Determine organic structures using different spectroscopies 2. Employ multi-­‐step organic synthesis and retro-­‐synthesis to produce the functional groups learned in class. Students will employ modern spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques to characterize organic compounds. Pointers to succeed in class This is a 5 units (9 h/w) advanced chemistry class. Students should assign at least 18 h of independent study per week, or more if necessary. The goal is to master the material not to “complete” certain hours of study. Mastery of the subject will help you to succeed not only in this class but in Chem 212, Chem 221, standardized exams and in your future career. Read the chapter before class and during the lecture participate with appropriate questions and answers. After the class, read the lecture notes and the text and solve problems to test your knowledge in a timely manner. Use assignments to test your knowledge and take advantage of the time you spend solving them:
First review the topic covered, then attempt the problems. If you can not solve a problem, go back to the textbook and lecture
notes and attempt it again. Do not look at the answer until you have tried at least twice. Remember: you learn more solving a
problem by yourself than copying ten.
Chemistry is cumulative and new material is given every class. If you get behind is better to drop the class since there is no “catch up” in organic chemistry. Study groups (BONUS activity) Form a study group the first week of classes (3 to 4 students per group) and meet three hours per week at a specified location. Every week hand in a piece of paper to the professor with the name of the students, that attended, the place, the times and the topics discussed. Credit will be given proportionally to the weeks that the group met. 2 Syllabus (tentative) Date Experiment (LDT= Last day to) Aug. Ch1.

Make up examinations ARE NOT permitted for any reason. Under extenuating circumstances, paperwork required, the missing exam will not be taken into account. The final exam is scheduled for Thursday Dec 12th from 9:00A to 12:00A. According to final exam schedule in LATTC catalog it is from 9:30 to 11:30, we will allot one more hour. The final exam has to be taken at the time and date indicated in the schedule. No exceptions. Check grades in Moodle before they are submitted to the Registrar’s office. Once grades are submitted, they will not be changed, except for typographical errors. Absences: Students will be excluded for failure to attend the first day of classes. The Professor may drop students with two unjustified absences. Students who plan to stop attending should notify the Professor and/or withdraw from the course. Students whose names appear in the final roster and are not attending will receive an F grade. Incomplete grade will be granted ONLY to students who are obtaining a B or better in class but can not take the final for unforeseeable and justifiable circumstances. Paperwork required. No incompletes will be granted to students who want to avoid the class counted as an attempt, who “forgot to drop” or who want to avoid a “low” grade. The three-­‐attempt rule: Students have three attempts to successfully pass a course with a C or better grade. Check college catalog for details. Students: If you think it is likely that you will not pass a class, drop the class before the “W” penalty date. Lecture 3 Assignments OWL is due every exam. All work performed by students will be checked on line before every exam. OR End of Chapter Problems are due the meeting after the chapter is covered in class. a) Place your assignment on the front desk BEFORE the lecture/test starts. If you come late, go to the front and submit your work. No assignment will be accepted after the class/test. Late assignments, or assignments finished in class ARE NOT accepted for any reason b) Only few, randomly selected, assignments will be graded right or wrong. The reminder of the assignments will be graded according to how well these instructions are followed c) Format: Write your last name, then name on the top right corner of the assignment Write the title of the assignment (chapter, section, book, etc.) Write both the question and the answer to the end of chapter Write in ink and show all work to obtain credit Staple all pages. Loose papers will not be graded. 4
