A study of the structure of organic molecules, their stereochemical and spectral properties, and their reactions.
Special attention is given to the mechanisms of reactions.
Be able to demonstrate a knowledge of the different reaction mechanisms and how they take place. Be able to predict the products of reactions, and use your knowledge of these reactions to design the synthesis of new molecules. Demonstrate both theoretical and practical knowledge of laboratory techniques for synthesis, purification and identification of organic compounds. 2. be able to communicate orally and in writing about chemistry. 4. be able to solve problems, both theoretical and practical.
