CHEMISTRY 8: ELEMENTARY ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
CHEMISTRY 8: ELEMENTARY ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
The student shall classify organic compounds on the basis of the structural and functional groups present in a structural formula, and identify the molecular, chemical and physical properties that are characteristic of the members of each class.
The student shall correctly draw the structures of organic compounds using full structural formulas, condensed structural formulas, abbreviated structural formulas, and angle formulas, and molecular formulas, including demonstrating the ability to draw any designated type of formula from the name or structural description of a compound, and the ability to interchange between one type of formula and another.
The student shall correctly name organic compounds from structural formulas or a structural description, or construct structural formulas from the names of the compounds, using both the IUPAC nomenclature and the more accepted common naming systems.
The student shall identify common applied uses, sources, roles and values of organic compounds in industry, medicine, consumer use, nature and biology.
The student shall identify and describe the chemical reactions reaction mechanisms typical for each class of organic compound, and explain how the reaction mechanism affects the nature of the products formed in a reaction.
Given any two of the following, the student shall predict the third: an organic reactant, a set of reaction conditions, the predominant organic product
The student shall describe the names and nature of the common types of spectroscopy used in the characterization and identification of organic compounds.
Using appropriate reference tables, the student shall identify the characteristic spectral “signatures” of various organic structural and functional groups.
The student shall distinguish between conformational isomers, structural (constitutional) isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers, diastereomers and racemic mixtures.
Given an appropriate name, or molecular, structural or descriptive formula, the student shall construct the formulas for designated types of isomers, and name the isomers.
The student shall explain the effects of isomerism on the physical, chemical and biological properties of compounds.
The student shall name each of the four major classes of biological compounds, and describe the structural sub-units, bonding, chemical properties, physical properties, structure, and biological roles of each.
