Course Objectives
At the end of this course, the student will learn:
- basic and widely used reaction mechanism concepts used in organic chemistry
- the chemistry of possible intermediates formed in the reactions
- the type of reacions occured via ionic, free radical and concerted mechanisms
Course Content
Course is designed to show how basic principles of organic chemistry work out in explaining the variation of reactivity with structure , the occurrence of electrophiles, nucleophiles and radicals and their behaviour in the fundamental reactions of organic chemistry such as substitution, addition, elimination and rearrangement.
Course Learning Outcomes
Student, who passed the course satisfactorily will be able to:
- understand how any kind of organic reaction takes place in detail
- know the mechanism of any kind of reaction
- solve organic problems involving mechanism
