Course Description
Organic chemistry is one of the main required courses of chemistry and chemical engineering majors in universities. This course teaches the structures, properties, reactions and transformation of all kinds of organic compounds, based on the basic theory of organic chemistry, such as valence bond theory, molecular orbital theory and acid-base theory, which takes understanding reaction mechanism and law as the main line. The understanding of organic chemistry is deepened through the introduction of life, material and other organic chemistry related knowledge.
Purposes of this course：To learn basic knowledge of organic chemistry, such as basic theories of organic chemistry, structures, properties, preparation methods, reactions and applications of organic compounds systematically. To understand the origins, mechanisms and basic laws of organic reactions. To master the strategies of Organic synthesis and be able to design simple routes. To improve students' ability to analyze and solve problems.
Basic requirements of this course：Putting the study of organic reaction mechanisms throughout, carding the context of organic chemistry’s rational deduction, diluting the mechanical memorizing of simple knowledge. Integrating classroom teaching and group independent learning together, focusing on the combination of practical teaching materials and textbooks, through which students can understand the basic organic concepts, be familiar with the basic structures of various types of organic compounds and reactions, master the basic theories, understand the reaction mechanisms, and grasp the common characteristics and laws of various types of organic reactions. At the same time, students can master the basic skills of synthesizing simple target compounds, which lays a solid foundation for further study.
Topics and Schedule
This course begins with the basic theories and basic knowledge of organic chemistry, including the electronic structure theory, the classification of compounds, the methods of naming, the basic knowledge of stereochemistry, the important spectral knowledge and so on. Take reaction mechanism as the core, teaching the structures, properties, reactions, preparation methods and applications of different kinds of compounds in order. Introduce the related knowledge like structures, properties, syntheses and applications of organic compounds briefly. First, the basic concepts, theories, structures and natures will be introduced, and then the representative reaction will be taken as an example to analyze, explaining the organic reaction mechanism throughout the whole course.
