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. Computerized homework assignments are designed to help you study the
material well. The practice problems are intended to increase your
understanding of the concepts. It is very important that you work out every
practice problem on the website. Do the exam problems and submit to your
instructor for credit.
Log on the following website and follow instructions:

2. Attendance is required. A good attendance including the transcription of a
good set of notes will greatly improve the students' chances for achieving a
satisfactory grade in this course. Unexcused absences will lower your grade.
3. Four written exams will be given but only the best three will count. NO MAKE
UP unless there is a justifiable conflict. If you need to miss, consult with
me.

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
The
University strives to be in compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) regulations. Students with disabilities
who require reasonable accommodations to fully participate in course activities
or meet course requirements are encouraged to register with the Office of
Disability Services to discuss access issues.? Please
