I Organic Chemistry II is the second course of fundamental introduction to organic chemistry.
II Structures, properties, preparation, reactions, and synthetic applications of organic compounds will be discussed.
By the end of this course, for conjugated, aromatic, carbonyl, and amine compounds, students will be able to:
1. Understand nomenclature, structures, and properties of compounds by functional group.
2. Understand preparation methods of compounds.
3. Understand reactions and account for their mechanisms.
4. Design synthetic method using various reactions.
