610-320 Organic Chemistry I

Note: Students enrolling additionally in two or more of Chemistry 610-322, 610-323 or 610-324 are required to enrol in 610-321 instead of 610-320.

Credit points: 18.0

Coordinator: Dr M. Gill

Prerequisite: Chemistry 610-220 or 610-221, and 610-260

Contact: 26 lectures (2 per week) 54 hours practical work

Timetable: Second semester

Practical work: The emphasis is on techniques rather than on illustration of lecture material. Thus the experiments involving synthesis also involve a variety of techniques (distillation, chromatography, etc. ). There are also exercises in structure determination by spectroscopic and chemical means.

Content:

Addition reaction of alkenes: organo-metallic reactions, enolates, aldol and related reactions, and the Wittig reaction: reductions and rearrangements with emphasis on chemo-, regio-, and stereo-selectivity: applications of nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry to the determination of structure.

Assessment:

One 3-hour written examination at the end of Semester 2. Practical work will be continuously assessed. Satisfactory performance in both theory and practical work is necessary before credit can be granted for this subject.
