Course Description
An
introduction to the chemistry of carbon based compounds. Nomenclature,
structure, bonding, and reaction mechanisms of organic importance in
pharmaceutics.
Prerequisite: CH108 and CH108L. Corequisite: CH 317L. 3:0:3
On completion of this course the student should:
- Describe hybridization, orbitals, resonance, hydrogen
bonding, polarity, homologous series, functional groups, aromaticity,
intermolecular forces,
- writing organic structures
- Know nomenclature, structure, physical properties,
synthesis, and reactions of alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers, epoxides,
sulfides
- Stereochemistry
- Describe nucleophilic substitution and elimination
reactions and the kinetics behind these
- Describe conjugated systems
- Principles of acidity and basicity and reaction
mechanisms
- Carry out simple organic synthesis
- There will be no drinking or eating in the classroom,
unless approved by the instructor.
- All assignments submitted should be stapled, neat and
legible.
- Any report submitted should be printed using a printer
that has black ink. Colored reports will not be accepted unless the color is
on a graph or picture.
- Tardiness in coming to class, late submission of
homework and quizzes will constitute in a loss of class participation points.
- Rude behaviour towards the instructor or a colleague
will not be tolerated.
- Students should avail all opportunities to participate
in class, a disinterest in class participation will lead to loss of class
participation points
-
You are advised to do the following:
- Devote at least an hour daily to revise class notes
and read ahead of time.
- To solve problems assigned in the syllabus as the
course continues. It is your responsibility to keep solving these problems
as the course progresses. These problems will help you understand the
subject better and also give you insight on what is expected of you in
exams.
- to keep exam days free of any other commitment as
there will be absolutely no makeup exams or quizzes. Exam dates have been
set in the syllabus, unless an absolute emergency arises (from the
instructors point of view) none of those dates will be changed.
- Generally there will be a review session before each
exam. You are encouraged to bring you problems to these sessions and clarify
any doubts. The day the exam is handed back, the common problems in the exam
will be discussed, please make sure you attend these important sessions.
Students should without hesitation request for study sessions at any time
and they will be scheduled according to time available.
Late
Submission of Course Materials
Class quizzes and exams cannot be made up. Homework and
internet quizzes are to submitted on the dates given during class. 20% of the
score will be deducted for each day the assignment is submitted late.
Assignments submitted after one week will not be accepted for grading.

Model
Sets
Hints on buying a model set:
1) buy it only if you really think you need it.
2) you can get a larger kit and share with a friend.
3) you may not need a model set if you are not going to be a chemistry major
4) make sure you see (even if its a picture) the model set before you buy it.
5) try not to buy a model that will break away eg the with wooden pieces.
6) if you are planning to take more chemistry/biology courses, buy a kit that
can be used for both organic and inorganic chemistry
7) you can always sell your model kit next year if you think you will not need
it.
Here are some places to start looking
1) MolyMod:
http://www.molymod.com/
2) Darling Models:
http://www.darlingmodels.com/ccp51/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi not the best kind, hard to rotate
bonds.
3) Another Place to get MolyMod models:
http://www.indigo.com/models/molymod-molecular-model-sets.html (62009 is the
best one to buy)
4) Prentice Hall Model Set: this is the most professional one.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0205081363/102-9171052-0038565?v=glance
http://www.prenhall.com/list_ac/searches/MC0511.html
5) UMKC bookstore sells model sets, you may want to take a look there also,
if its convenient for you.
