Course description
Organic chemistry is basis for development of organic and polymer materials, while it requires an integrated approach that combines design, synthesis, and analysis of new materials and evaluation of their functionality. This course provides basic knowledge and concept in organic chemistry systematically, following Organic Chemistry I and II. The topics covered in this course are chemistry of alkynes and allylic and aromatic compounds with carbon-carbon multiple bond(s) and carbonyl compound such as aldehydes and ketones.
Expected Learning
Aromatic compounds and carbonyl compounds covered in this course is an important class of compounds in synthetic organic chemistry. Students will acquire the knowledge and skills to design the synthetic route to simple organic molecules by understanding a various type of carbon-carbon bond forming reactions and functional-group transformation and reaction mechanisms of them.
Course schedule
This course will cover Chapters 13~18 in the text. The approximate order of topics to be covered is given below.

[Weeks 1 and 2]
Orientation
Chapter 13 Alkynes: Properties and spectroscopy of alkynes, Preparation of alkynes, Reaction of alkynes (alkynyl anions, reduction and electrophilic addition of alkynes)

[Weeks 3 and 4]
Chapter 14: Delocalized Pi system: Properties and spectroscopy of allyl and conjugated-diene compounds, Reaction of allylic and diene compounds (substitution via radical mechanism, nucleophilic substitution, allylation, Diels-Alder reaction, electrocyclic reaction)

[Weeks 5, 6, and 7]
Benzene and Aromaticity: Aromaticity, Huckel’s rule, Properties and spectroscopy of aromatic compounds, electrophilic aromatic substitution, Friedel-Crafts reaction)

[Week 8]
Midterm exam

[Weeks 9 and 10]
Chapter 16 Electrophilic attack on derivatives of benzene: Effect of substituents on electrophilic aromatic substitution

[Weeks 11, ans 12]
