III. COURSE DESCRIPTION: A continuation of Organic Chemistry I. The course will
provide the students with the fundamentals of Organic reactions, mechanisms,
and synthesis. The emphasis will be on the chemistry of aromatics, alcohols,
phenols, ethers, epoxides, carbonyl chemistry, amines (macromolecules), and
chemistry of drugs.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon the successful completion of this course, the student
should be able to:
1. conceptualize organic chemistry reactions through
mechanisms.
2. learn the "chain of reasoning" in organic mechanisms and use
analogy to predict mechanisms for new reactions.
3. learn the "chain of reasoning" in organic synthesis and use
analogy to propose new synthetic routes.
4. appreciate the role of spectroscopy in the identification of structures of
organic compounds.
5. appreciate the numerous and important applications of organic chemistry in
everyday life.

V. EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS:
1. Homework assignments are designed to help you study the material well. The practice problems are intended to increase your understanding of the concepts. All homework assignments are due before or on the day of the exam for full credit.
2. Attendance is expected. A good attendance including the transcription of a good set of class notes will greatly improve the students' chances of achieving a satisfactory grade in this course.
3. On-line quizzes (Practice problems) – solve problems and e-mail them to me before exams. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/classware/infoCenter.do?isbn=0073047872
4. Four written exams will be given but only the best three
will count towards the final grade. No makeup exams are allowed unless a
justifiable reason is given. If you need to miss class, please notify me.
5. Academic integrity must be always preserved. Any violation will be handled
according to the guidelines in the College Catalog.
6. Final Exam - ACS
7. Attendance at ACS presentations on campus is optional. Extra credit is given
to those who attend.

Academic Integrity
Academic integrity requires that all academic work be wholly the product of an identified individual or individuals. Collaboration is only acceptable when it is explicitly acknowledged. Ethical conduct is the obligation of every member of the University community, and breaches of academic integrity constitute serious offenses. Since a lack of integrity hinders the student’s academic development, it cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. Violations include but are not limited to: cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and denying others access to information or material. See USF Catalog for further clarification and information on grievance procedures.
Special
Needs
