Course description
This course introduces the basis of fundamental organic chemistry. Especially the electronic theory of organic chemistry is emphasized. The course introduces the necessary knowledge needed to learn advanced organic and bioorganic chemistry. The course also provides a wide scope of the relationship between daily life and organic chemistry, by introducing special topics focusing on a specified compound we meet in daily life.
Purpose of class
The aim of this course is to help students to acquire an understanding of the electronic theory of organic chemistry. The course introduces the necessary knowledge needed to learn advanced organic and bioorganic chemistry. The course also provides a wide scope of the relationship between daily life and organic chemistry.
Goals and objectives
  1. To be able to draw the Lewis structure of a specified organic compound and indicate the formal charge of each atom of the compound.
  2. To be able to image the 3-dimensional molecular structure of an organic compound by looking the structural formula of the compound.
  3. To be able to draw the structural formula of a specified organic compound by reading the name of the compound.
  4. To be able to write the reaction mechanisms of organic reactions using curved arrows showing the movement of electron pairs.
  5. To understand what is chirality and how important the chirality is to life process.
  6. To understand how the achievements of organic chemistry bring benefits to our daily life.
