CHEM 4310 - Adv Organic Chemistry I

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Chemistry

Description:

A problem-oriented course that explores organic structure, stereochemistry, and thermodynamics and kinetics in organic reaction mechanisms. Introduction to efficient retrieval of information from the organic chemical literature, and to thinking critically about the material. Introduction to molecular orbital theory and aromaticity and resulting spectroscopic properties. Offered based upon sufficient student need. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Predict conformational preferences of common organic structures accounting for steric and electronic interactions. 2. Describe stereochemical relationships and predict stereochemical outcomes for organic reactions. 3. Make logical predictions about the trends in reactivity and/or acidity in organic molecules. 4. Diagram molecular orbitals for simple organic molecules and use molecular orbital theories to understand and predict reactions thermally and/or photochemically. 5. Propose reasonable explanations for observed products and propose experimental tests to validate mechanisms. Prerequisites: CHEM 2320 and CHEM 2325 (all Grade C or higher). FA (even)
