Subject Description Form Subject Code ABCT342 Subject Title Organic Chemistry II (ABCT242) Credit Value 3 Level 3 Pre-requisite / Co-requisite/ Exclusion Organic Chemistry I Objectives The aim of this subject is to enable students to understand organic chemistry through a study of the basic reaction types, the basic principles and the uses of common spectroscopic techniques available for functional group identification. Illustration will be emphasized on reactions and compounds with structural interest or industrial importance. Intended Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the subject, students will be able to: 1. understand the properties and reactivity of important functional groups including aromatic compounds, alcohols, amines, and carbonyl compounds; 2. be able to recognize important spectroscopic signatures of aromatic compounds, alcohols, amines, and carbonyl compounds; 3. be able to write detailed mechanisms for important reaction classes, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution and carbonyl nucleophilic addition reactions; 4. predict reactivity of various basic reactions in different conditions, know about related application of these organic reactions 5. be able to plan multi-step syntheses of targeted organic molecule; 6. know basic structures of important biomolecules such as carbohydrates, amino acids, and peptides Subject Synopsis/ Indicative Syllabus We will cover chapters 15-26 of McMurry textbook. Students should read each chapter before it is covered in class. 15. Benzene and Aromaticity. 16. Chemistry of Benzene: Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution. 17. Alcohols and Phenols. 18. Ethers and Epoxides; Thiols and Sulfides. A Preview of Carbonyl Compounds. 19. Aldehydes and Ketones: Nucleophilic Addition Reactions. 20. Carboxylic Acids and Nitriles. 21. Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Reactions. 22. Carbonyl Alpha-Substitution Reactions. 23. Carbonyl Condensation Reactions. 24. Amines and Heterocycles. 25. Biomolecules: Carbohydrates. 26. Biomolecules: Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins. 10.2010 Teaching/Learning Methodology Assessment Methods in Alignment with Intended Learning Outcomes The basic reaction mechanism and applications of reactions in synthesis will be delivered by lectures. Students are encouraged to ask questions for clarifying the concepts and guided by solving problems in the tutorial sessions.

Textbook: John McMurry, "Organic Chemistry, 7th Edition" Brooks-Cole Publishing Co., 2008 is required. You should read each chapter before its lecture. "Study Guide & Solutions Manual for Organic Chemistry" by Susan McMurry is recommended. All students are encouraged to buy their own copy of the textbook, which will be used as texts for the duration of level 2 and level 3 studies in organic chemistry courses. . 10.2010
