Organic Chemistry 1
This course is an introduction to organic chemistry. Basic aspects of bonding and structures, including stereochemistry are presented, as well as reaction mechanisms and structure-reactivity relationships. The acid-base chemistry (Brønsted and Lewis) of organic compounds will be examined. Reaction pathways, stereochemistry, conformational analysis, nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions are presented. The chemistry of some classes of organic compounds such as alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, alkyl halides, and ethers will be surveyed.
