It is assumed that students taking it have had at least one year of college-level organic chemistry. The aim of the course is to solidify and reinforce basic problem solving skills, rather than to introduce new concepts. The text is the same one used in the undegraduate course at this university. However, we will cover it at a much faster clip then we would at the undergraduate level. There will be no formal lectures, rather problems from one or two chapters in the text will be assigned and we will discuss them in class.
Problems below are some assignments from the text.
You will also be assigned additional problems in class. You are strongly encouraged to try additional text problems, especially if you are not comfortable or familiar with the material. Group problem solving is encouraged. Basic problem solving and description of organic mechanisms. Stereochemistry, Ch. 7.
