Description

This course covers the theoretical aspects of organic chemistry. The main focus will be on gaining
understanding for the use of infrared spectroscopy for organic structure elucidation, on reactions of Alcohols,
Amines, Ethers, and Epoxides, on reactions of Carboxylic acids, on reactions of aldehydes and ketones, and on the
use of curved arrows to depict reaction mechanisms of these reactions. 

Extra information about the assessment
The final course grade will be the weighted average of all components, which should by at least a 5.5 to pass the course

Objectives

• The student is able to describe the main principles of IR spectroscopy. 
• The student is able to recognize the chemical structure of the functional groups in alcohols, amines, carboxylic acid derivatives, aldehydes and ketones, acetals and ketals. 
• The student is able to recognize IUPAC names of molecules containing these functional groups, and is able to draw their structure including stereochemistry. 
• The student is able to predict reaction products, including stereochemistry, in the reactions of these functional groups. 
• The student is able to elucidate the structure of simple compounds containing these functional groups using combined data from nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis and infrared spectroscopy. 
• The student is able to recognize, classify, explain, and apply fundamental reactions of the functional groups introduced in the course, including reduction of carbonyl groups, addition to carbonyl groups, addition- elimination reactions on carboxylic acid derivatives and substitution reactions involving alcohols and amines. 
• The student is able to draw mechanisms using curved arrow formalism for reactions of the functional groups treated in this course.
