Course description and aims

I Students get the rudimentary knowledge of organic chemistry.
II Chemical structure, reactivity, and reaction of organic compounds are summarized by the text book of "McMurry Organic Chemistry, the eighth edition, the third volume".

Student learning outcomes

Functions and properties of organic and polymeric materials are strongly related to the primary structure of molecules and higher-order structures. A flexible molecular design based on knowledge of the organic chemistry is demanded in the development of a variety of functional materials meeting demand properties. Students get the fundamental skills of introduction of functional groups and the transformation mainly on the amine compounds, chemical structures and reactions of a heterocycle compound and carbohydrates based on a basic concept of the organic chemistry by this lecture.

Keywords

fundamental organic chemistry, chemical structure, reactivity, amine compound, heterocycle compound, carbohydrate

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

The class is carried out along the contents of the textbook. A summary of the previous lecture followed by the main points of the day’s lecture posed as questions are given. A careful commentary while deciphering an exercise in the textbook is added during class.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 A basic concept of the organic chemistry Understanding relations between chemical structure and property must be required.
Class 2 Amine-property and basicity of amines Understanding characters and basicity of amines is required.
Class 3 Amine-synthesis of amines Understanding of synthetic strategy of amines is required. Students must be able to explain the importance of the points.
Class 4 Amine-reaction of amines Understanding of various reactions of amines is required. Solve the exercises for further understanding is required.
Class 5 Heterocycle compounds : property, aromaticity, reaction Understanding of properties of heterocycle compounds is required. Solve the exercises for further understanding is required.
Class 6 Carbohydrates-classification and streochemistry of carbohydrates Understanding of classification of carbohydrates is required. Students must be explained the stereochemistry of carbohydrates.
Class 7 Carbohydrates-reaction of saccharides Understanding of relation between structure and property of monosaccharide is required. Solve the exercises for further understanding is required.
Class 8 Carbohydrates-property and structure of disaccharides and polysaccharides Understanding of relation between structure and property of disaccharide and polysaccharide is required based on the knowledge of monosaccharide. Students must be able to explain the importance of the points.
