Outcomes
In order to successfully complete this course, the student will:
1. Explain how molecular orbital theory is used to model bonding and properties of organic molecules.
2. Identify functional groups on organic molecules and how they effect molecular properties.
3. Name organic molecules given their structural formulas using IUPAC nomenclature for alcohols, aromatics, ethers, ketones, aldehydes, amines, and carboxylic acids.
4. Use IR, UV-VIS, NMR, and mass spectrometry to elucidate the structure of organic molecules.
5. Describe the reaction mechanisms by which alcohols, ethers, epoxides, aromatics, aldehydes, amines, and carboxylic acids are formed.
6. Describe the reaction mechanisms by which alcohols, ethers, epoxides, armoatics, aldehydes, amines, and carboxylic acids are converted to other organic molecules.
7. Apply qualitative organic chemistry laboratory techniques in a safe manner.
