In this lecture, the exercise about organic and physical chemistry will be carried out to understand basic knowledge for polymer science. In organic chemistry part, the exercise related to "Organic Chemistry III (Aromatic Compounds)", "Organic Chemistry IV (Nucleophilic Substitution)", and "Organic Chemistry V (Carbonyl Compounds)" will be carried out. The focus topics of organic chemistry part are shown below: I. benzene and aromaticity, II. nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions, III. carbonyl compounds. The focus topics of physical chemistry part are shown below: I. polymer rheology.
The practice examination will be carried out every class to confirm the understanding level about total topics.
At the end of this lecture, in organic chemistry part students will acquire the ability to understand basic organic chemistry about benzene and aromaticity, nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions, carbonyl compounds, and solve the related practice problems. In physical chemistry part, students will acquire the ability to understand basic physical chemistry about polymer rheology.
Benzene, aromaticity, electrophilic aromatic substitution, nucleophilic substitution reactions, SN2 reactions, SN1 reactions elimination reactions, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, nitriles, nucleophilic addition, conjugate addition, polymer rheology

If you belong to a Focus other than "Polymer Focus" and want to register this class, please contact with prof. Ishige by 7th April. This class is an exercise class and we have a not large capacity to the number of students in this class, because of the point-rating issue in every lectures.
