Course description
It is often considered that the study of organic chemistry is to memorize a lot of contents. In order to discard this preconception, it is strongly recommended that student understand (not memorize) the basic concepts about chemical bonds, molecular shapes, and chemical reactions.
Expected Learning
As this lecture is considered to be the introductory course of organic chemistry, which is a basic subject to learn organic material science, basic principles should be learned.
Course schedule
#1-#3 Chapter 1 “Structure and Bonding in Organic Molecules”, main topics; chemical bonds, atomic orbital, molecular orbital, molecular shapes

#4, #5 Chapter 2, “Structure and Reactivity: acid and base, polar and nonpolar molecules”, main topics; kinetic control and thermodynamic control, acid and base, electrophile and nucleophile, functional group, straight-chain alkane and branched alkane, structure, structure and nomenclature of alkane, physical properties of alkane, conformation and conformer.

#6, #7 Chapter 3, “Reactions of Alkanes: bond-dissociation energy, Radical Halogenation, and Reactivity”, main topics; strength of alkane bond, radicals, structure of alkyl radicals, hyper-conjugation, cracking of petroleum, chlorination of methane, chlorination of higher alkanes, relative reactivity and selectivity, synthetic radical halogenation, combustion of alkane, freon

#8 Chapter 4: “Cycloalkane”, main topics; nomenclature of cycloalkane, ring strain and structure of cycloalkanes, conformation of cyclohexane, larger cycloalkanes, polycyclic alkanes, carbocyclic products in nature

#9 Midterm examination

#10, #11 Chapter 5, “Stereoisomers”, main topics; chirality, optical activity, absolute configuration, R-S sequence rules, Fischer projections, diastereomers, meso compounds, separation of enamtiomers.

#12-#14 Chapter 6, “Properties and Reactions of Haloalkanes: Bimolecular Nucleophilic Substitution”, main topics, nucleophilic substitution reactions, electron pushing arrows, mechanism, kinetics, stereochemistry, inversion of configuration, relationships between structures and reactivity (leaving groups, nucleophiles, alkyl groups)

#15 Term-end examination

Assessment/Grading
Message from instructor(s)
Organic chemistry is the subject where students should pile up the new concepts or understandings on the basis ever established. It is very difficult to recover your learning in subsequent classes if your studies and understanding are not sufficient at early stages. Please study hard. English textbook is used. Do preparation for each class.
