Course description and aims

This is a continuation of Organic Chemistry I and II, particularly focusing on general concepts for C–C bond formation and functional group transformations.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to have an understanding of basic concept of organic chemistry and mechanism of chemical reactions.

Keywords

organic chemistry
organic synthesis
synthetic chemistry

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

In this class, explanations will be given on the board and on slides. Exercises will be given in each class.

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 afterward (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Materials will be distributed at each lecture.

Reference books, course materials, etc.

A guide book to mechanism in organic chemistry, Peter Sykes
Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, P Vollhardt and N. Shore

Assessment criteria and methods

Students’ course scores are based on final exams (ca. 70%), which will be held on site (not via online) and exercise problems (ca. 30%) and also attendance.
