CHEM& 263 - Organic Chemistry III

• Interpret patterns of reactivity for reactions of carbonyl containing compounds and derivatives and amines, and provide electron–pushing mechanisms and multistep products where applicable.
• Predict the relative reactivities of the carboxylic acid derivatives.
• Apply IUPAC nomenclature rules and predict trends in physical properties for simple organic molecules based on their functional groups.
• Provide reagents or predict products for reactions at the alpha carbon.
• Classify and identify basic biomolecules such as carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, and nucleic acids.
• Apply basic organic reactions in a biological context, as in the reactions of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, and nucleic acids.
• Deduce molecular structures based on various spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, MS, IR, and/or UV-Vis.
• Effectively use laboratory techniques to synthesize, isolate, and purify samples, and assess the purity and yield of final products.
