ChE Tulsa University CHEM 3013 Organic Chemistry I Catalog Description: A first course in organic chemistry emphasizing bonding, structures, nomenclature, reactions, stereochemistry, mechanisms and syntheses of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, halides, alcohols and ethers. Prerequisites: Chem 1011, 1013, 1021, 1023 Corequisites: None Prerequisites by Topic: Basic concepts of bonding, Molecular Formula, Acid-Base chemistry, Atomic Structure of the Atom, Basic Thermodynamics and Kinetics, Stoichiometry, Lewis Structures, VSPER, Hybridization. Textbook: Organic Chemistry, 2nd ed. Joseph M. Hornback, Brooks/Cole Other Required Material: None Course Objectives: The objectives of the first semester organic chemistry course are to develop the foundation needed to effectively understand organic reaction mechanisms. Once the foundation concepts have been mastered, mechanistic organic chemistry is introduced. Topics Covered: Bonding, Formal Charge, Polar Bonds, Resonance, Structure, Constitutional Isomers, Functional Groups, Physical Properties, Hybridization, Acid-Base Reactions, Nomenclature, Stereochemistry, Conformational Analysis, Infrared Spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, SN1 Mechanism, SN2 Mechanism, E1 Mechanism and E2 Mechanism. Class/Laboratory Schedule: Lecture meets for three 50-minute sessions each week for 14 weeks with a final exam scheduled after the 14 weeks have been completed. Professional Component Contribution: This course provides three hours of general education, specifically advanced chemistry to complement the chemical engineering content.
