Course description and aims
[Summary of the course] In this course, stereochemistry in the tetrahedron center, synthesis and reactions of organic halides, and
nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions of the alkyl halides will be explained for the students who studied Organic Chemistry I
(Alkanes) (Chemical Science and Engineering), Organic Chemistry II (Alkenes), and Organic Chemistry III (Aromatic Compounds).
[Aim of the course] The stereochemistry in the tetrahedron center is important in understanding biochemistry as well as organic
chemistry, and is essential to understand the reaction mechanism of various organic compounds. Students understand phenomena of
isomerism such as origin of antipode and optical activity of molecules, and then they understand chemistry of the organic halide. Finally,
students acquire the ability to discuss the mechanism of the most basic organic reactions, especially nucleophilic substitution reactions,
using stereochemical knowledge.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students acquire the following abilities:
(1) Ability to understand basic knowledge and way of thinking about stereochemistry that is the important characteristic of organic
compounds.
(2) Ability to explain nucleophilic substitution reactions, that is a basic reaction in organic chemistry, using stereochemical knowledge and
way of thinking.
(3) Ability to discuss the reaction mechanism, based on (1) and (2) above.
(4) Ability to draw up a synthetic plan of a target compound, based on (1) and (2) above.
Keywords
Enantiomers, optical activity, phenomena of isomerism, alkyl halides, organometallic chemistry, nucleophilic substitution reactions, SN2
reactions, SN1 reactions, elimination reactions
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
This course will proceed in the following order: (1) stereochemistry in the tetrahedron center, (2) property, synthesis, and reactions of
organic halides, (3) reactions of alkyl halides (nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions). In the last day, practice problems and
interpretation of them will be provided to check the level of understanding.

| Class 4 | Reactions of alkyl halides, introduction of organometallic chemistry | Explain reactions of alkyl halides and introduction of organometallic chemistry. |
| Class 5 | SN2 reactions | Explain SN2 reactions. |
| Class 6 | SN1 reactions | Explain SN1 reactions. |
| Class 7 | Comparison between elimination reaction, nucleophilic substitution and elimination | Discuss the reaction mechanism and draw up the synthetic plan of the target compound, based on accurate understanding of the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. |
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.
