Catalog Description:

The second semester of an intensive one-year program based upon modern theoretical concepts of organic chemistry. All aspects of fundamental organic chemistry are studied, including nomenclature, chemical and physical properties, reactions and synthesis. The study includes theoretical aspects, reaction mechanisms, and multistep synthesis. The laboratory includes methods of purifying solids and liquids, determination of physical properties of organic compounds, isolation of natural products, synthetic reactions, chromatographic separations, and structure determination using infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Chem 12A-12B is equivalent to Chem 112A-112B at University of California, Berkeley or Chem 128A, 128B, 128C,129A, 129B, 129C at University of California, Davis. Transfer students are expected to complete this sequence prior to their junior year.

COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

A successful student in Chemistry 12B should be able to:

1.  use molecular orbital theory to predict outcomes of chemical

   reactions.

2.  predict the products of reactions involving organic compounds.

3.  be able to develop a multistep (4-6 steps) synthesis for reasonably

   complex compounds, using available starting materials.

4.  write logical mechanisms for more complex organic reactions.

5.  apply oxidation-reduction theory to organic compounds.

6.  effectively communicate observations and subsequent conclusions by

   means of written laboratory reports. Follow the accepted standards for

   writing technical papers.

7.  research primary and secondary literature, and use the computer

   resources for the construction of written reports

8.  perform multistep (3-4 steps) syntheses in the laboratory.

9.  purify and identify (GC/MS, NMR, IR) a variety of simple organic

   compounds in the laboratory.
