Organic Chemistry

KIDOWAKI Masatoshi
Course description
Using "Organic Chemistry" 9th edition of first volume by John McMurry, the lecture on physical and chemical properties of organic compounds with the exercises are offered.
Students learn the origin of the carbon-carbon bond and understand the stereochemistry and reactions of hydrocarbons containing single, double and triple bond. In addition, students understand the generation and cleavage of the chemical bonds by the movement of a pair of electrons, and lay the foundation to theoretically understand various reactions learning in the future.
Purpose of class
To understand the generation and cleavage of the chemical bonds by the movement of a pair of electrons.
To lay the foundation to theoretically understand various reactions.
Goals and objectives
  1. To be able to explain the formation of covalent bond and the shape of the molecule by hybrid orbital (Schedule 1 - 3)
  2. To be able to explain the resonance structure and the reaction of acid and base by utilizing the movement of electron pair (Schedule 3 - 4)
  3. To be able to explain the nature and stereochemistry of hydrocarbons (Schedule 5 - 13)
  4. To be able to explain the basic reactions of hydrocarbons and their mechanisms (Schedule 10 - 13)
  5. To be able to understand the nomenclature of hydrocarbons and to correspond compound names and molecular structures (Schedule 5, 10, 13)
