CategorySpecial Subjects
Elective, CreditsElective 2credit
 Syllabus Number5D257

Course Description

Organic compounds are classified according to functional groups, and the physiological/chemical properties, methods for chemical synthesis and chemical reactions of the organic compounds will be studied.
The following subjects will be studied during the course.
(1) carboxylic acid
(2) carboxylic acid derivatives
(3) aldehyde and ketone
(4) amine

Course Objectives

The organic compounds are important in the field of chemistry, biochemistry and pharmaceutical sciences. The objectives of this course are to understand basic chemistry which will be required to pursue other chemistry-related courses. It is also intended to lead students to have interests in reaction properties and the chemical synthesis methodology of organic compounds.

Grading Policy

Reports and occasional test (20%) results are considered with final examination results (80%).

Requirements(Assignments)

(Preparation of lecture) The students are required to read the corresponding part of the text in advance, make it clear what they don't understand, and be ready to ask during the lecture (1.5 hr.).
(Review of lecture) The students should check any contents, which they could not understood, after the lecture (1.5 hr.).

Note

It is strongly suggested for students to study "Chemistry 1", "Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry" and "Organic Chemistry 1" beforehand in classes. Studying beforehand is strongly suggested because you will learn many chemical reactions in this class.
