Course Outcomes

Predict Structure and Reactivity

Predict structure and reactivity of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, anhydrides, amides, b-ketocarbonyl containing compounds, amines, and phenols.

Curved Arrow Mechanisms

Recognize and provide curved arrow mechanisms for the following types of organic reactions: electrophilic & nucleophilic aromatic substitution, nucleophilic carbonyl addition, nucleophilic acyl substitution, carbonyl condensation, [4 2] cycloaddition, and substitution ato a carbonyl.

Recognize and Predict Reactivity

Recognize and predict the reactivity of the following reactive species and/or reactive intermediates: Grignard reagents, Wittig reagents, organolithiums, diorganocuprates, enols, enolates, aryl diazonium ions, and benzynes.

Recognize and Predict Structure/Reactivity

Recognize and predict the structure and reactivity of the following classes of biologically important organic molecules: carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, and lipids.
