This course examines organic chemistry concepts, including stereochemistry (geometric isomers, optical isomers), alkene addition reaction mechanisms, nucleophilic substitution reactions (SN-1, SN-2), radical substitution reactions, electrophilic substitution reactions in aromatic compounds, reactions elimination (E-1, E-2), as well as condensation reactions (aldol, Knoevenagel, Claisen). The strategy for presenting this material includes presentation and discussion of independent and/or group assignments.
