Course description and aims
This course focuses on structures of organic compounds, and covers NMR spectral analysis, mass spectral analysis, and related spectroscopy to determine organic structures. Furthermore, the concept of stereoelectronic effects is introduced to understand conformation of organic molecules and reactivity.
Fundamental understanding of the structure of organic compounds helps students describe organic chemical reactions as well as behavior of organic molecules in nature. Thus, students need to acquire general knowledge on spectral analysis of 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 2D-NMR, Mass Spectrometry, Infrared Spectroscopy and Ultraviolet–Visible Spectroscopy to determine the structure of organic compounds. In addition, the concept of stereoelectronic effects will be learned to understand conformation of organic molecules and reactivity in detail.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Interpret 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 2D NMR of organic molecules to determine the structure
2) Interpret mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet visible absorption spectroscopy of organic molecules
3) Determine molecular structures by analyzing spectroscopic data.
4) Account for characteristic organic structure and reactivity based on stereoelectronic effects

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
Course materials are provided during class.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds (Wiley)
Course materials will be provided via OCW-i
Assessment criteria and methods
Exercise problems including homework in each class (20%) and final exam (80%).
The final exam will be held at a classroom on campus, but the method may change depending on the situation.
