Course description and aims

This course supports students understand the contents of "Organic Chemistry II" in the same Quarter of the same Academic year. In addition, we discuss experimental results from the course of "Laboratory Course in Basic Organic Chemistry".

Solving exercise problems, drawing organic structures and reaction mechanisms with curly arrows help students understand organic chemistry in detail. Therefore, this course provides the opportunity that students draw organic molecules by hands as much as possible and supports their better understanding of basic organic chemistry.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain basic concepts of organic structures and organic reactions.
2) Explain basic experimental methods for organic chemical reactions and the experimental results.

Keywords

Benzene and Aromaticity, Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution, Electrophilic Attack on Derivatives of Benzene, Aldehydes, Ketones, Enols, Enolates, and the Aldol Condensation, Carboxylic Acids, Carboxylic Acid Derivatives, the Claisen Condensation, beta-Dicarbonyl Compounds, Amines

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

In the first 20 minutes, the lecturer shows solutions for homework, and subsequently teaches main topics in course schedule. Then, students solve several exercise problems. In the last 10 minutes, commentary for the solution guide for the exercise problems are provided.

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.
