DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES

It is a course designed to deliver fundamental concepts in organic chemistry for core understanding of forthcoming courses (CHEM-6209, CHEM-6223 and CHEM-6240) of organic chemistry specialization. The nomenclature of organic molecules (both carbocycles and heterocycles), involvement of electronic (‒I, +I)/resonance (‒R, +R)/steric factors in reactions and stereochemical aspects are major focus of this course. The major part of this course is associated with the study of stereoisomers. Stereochemistry spans the entire spectrum of organic, inorganic, biological, physical and especially supramolecular chemistry. It includes methods for determining and describing these relationships; the effect on the physical or biological properties these relationships impart upon the molecules in question, and the manner in which these relationships influence the reactivity of the molecules in question (dynamic stereochemistry). A basic concept on 3D structures, conformations of molecules, asymmetric synthesis, other stereochemical principles and attributes are essential. The completion of this course shall enable the students to apply fundamental concepts in organic chemistry and stereoisomerism.
