This course is designed to introduce fundamental concepts of organic chemistry including classes of organic compounds, hybridization, structure, nomenclature, important organic reactions and the application of electronic and structural effects in predicting properties and reactivity of the different classes of organic compounds.
The organic laboratory course is designed to develop skills and techniques in the separation and purification of
organic compounds. The laboratory course serves as the venue for the observation of structural effects on the
physical and chemical properties of organic compounds.
