PERSONAL SUPPLIES:

SAFETY GLASSES : According to State Law, safety glasses with side shields are to be worn at all times in the laboratory and other areas where hazardous chemicals or conditions exist. The student must wear safety glasses with shields at the first laboratory session and all subsequent sessions.  The lenses, glass or plastic, must be shatterproof.  Ordinary glass lenses are unsuitable.  If in doubt, check with your optician or purchase plastic safety glasses with shields from the Trident Bookstore or a hardware store.

RUBBER GLOVES and a protective APRON or a laboratory JACKET are recommended.  Inexpensive plastic lab aprons are available in the Trident Bookstore; lab jackets may be obtained from medical supply houses or from retail stores.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to:

1.    define principles of molecular spectroscopy:  electromagnetic radiation and quantized energy states.

2.    explain proton magnetic resonance and show how chemical shifts and spin splitting are measured. Interpret proton NMR spectra.

3.    discuss Infrared (IR) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy and interpret IR and UV-VIS spectra.

4.    describe the structure, bonding, and physical properties of the carbonyl group.

5.    name carbonyl and amine compounds by IUPAC nomenclature.

6.    discuss principles of nucleophilic addition to carbonyl groups.

7.    predict the mechanisms, stereochemistry, and reactions of carbonyl compounds.

8.    discuss the mechanism and reaction of alpha halogenation of aldehydes and ketones.

9.    recognize enols and structural features that stabilize enols and enolate ions.  Predict the chemical and stereochemical consequences of enolization.

10.  describe condensation reactions and mechanisms of aldehydes and ketones.

11.  discuss conjugate nucleophilic addition reactions to alpha, beta unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

12.  explain alkylation reactions to enolate anions and enamines.

13.  describe the structure, bonding, and physical properties of the carboxylic acids.

14.  discuss the acidity of carboxylic acids recognizing the substitutent effects on acid strength.

15.  discuss the synthesis, reactions, and mechanisms of reactions of carboxylic acids.

16. describe the structure, bonding, and physical properties of the carboxylic acid derivatives.

19.  discuss the preparation, reactions, and mechanisms of reactions of carboxylic acid derivatives.

20.  discuss ester enolate reactions including but not limited to the Claisen and mixed Claisen condensation, the Dieckmann reaction, malonic ester reaction, the Knoevenagel condensation, acetoacetic ester condensation, Michael additions, and the Reformatski reaction.

21.  describe the structure, bonding, and physical properties of the amines.

22.  discuss the preparation, reactions, and mechanisms of reactions of amines.

23.  name simple heterocyclic compounds by IUPAC nomenclature.

24.  describe the structure, bonding, and physical properties of heterocyclic compounds.

25.  describe the different classes of polymers.  Discuss the reactions and mechanisms that lead to polymeric molecules.

GRADING SYSTEM AND POLICY:

    1.     If a scheduled classroom test is missed, arrangements for a make-up test must be made; failure to do so will result in the grade of zero.  Each instructor will inform you of his/her grading policies regarding scheduled and make-up tests, reports, and the final examination.

   2.      The Quiz/Homework grade may be based upon quizzes, homework and/or special assignments.  Quizzes may be given without prior notification.  The Quiz/Homework may be incorporated into the class exam average.  Policies regarding the Quiz/Homework will be explained by the instructor.

3.    Absence on the day of a final exam will result in the grade of "I" (incomplete) or "F", at the discretion of the instructor.  Incomplete grades must be cleared according to the policies of the Registrar as listed in the College Catalog.

4.    A student who wishes to withdraw from the course must follow the appropriate procedures of the  Office of Admissions and Records.

FINAL EXAMINATION:

Organic  Chemistry is a comprehensive subject and  therefore the CHM 212 final examination will consist of subject material from both CHM 211 and CHM 212.  Furthermore, skills learned in CHM 211 are essential for complete understanding of the subject material covered   this semester.  Specifically:

Nomenclature        Acids/Bases   Nucleophiles/Electrophiles               Addition, Elimination and 

Substitution Reactions with associated Mechanisms

       Students  are  advised  to  review  subject   matter, exercises,  quizzes and tests related to topics  covered  in CHM 211.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS:

The College will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities.  Students should notify the Counselor for Students with Disabilities (located in Counseling and Career Development, Building 410, Room 210) and their instructors of any special needs.  Instructors should be notified on the first day of classes.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION DEVICES IN CLASSROOMS:

To minimize classroom disruptions and protect the integrity of test-taking situations, activated electronic communication devices such as pagers and telephones are generally not permitted in classrooms at Trident Technical College.  The only exception to this policy will be for on-call emergency personnel (police, fire, EMS), who will be required to notify their classroom instructor of their need for such devices at the beginning of the term and provide documentation verifying their occupation.  However, on-call emergency personnel may not leave a testing situation, communicate by electronic means and return to complete an examination.  In these cases, instructors should make arrangements for re-testing.

ATTENDANCE POLICY:

Prompt and regular attendance is the responsibility of each student.  In most cases, a student must attend at least 80 percent of classes in order to have an opportunity to earn a passing grade.  The student is responsible for all material covered and all assignments made in class.  Any time a student is absent from a class, laboratory, or other scheduled event, it is the student's responsibility to make satisfactory arrangements for any make-up work permitted by the instructor.  It is the student's responsibility to initiate the paper work required to drop or withdraw from courses.  Failure to attend classes does not constitute proper procedure for dropping or withdrawal and may result in the grade of F.  Contact the Admissions and Records office for additional information.

All Veteran students are required to maintain attendance in order to earn VA benefits.  Whenever a veteran student's absences exceed 20 percent of the hours assigned to the course, the VA student will be administratively dropped for excessive absences.  An instructor may administratively withdraw a student who has missed more than 10 percent of contact hours for the course if the student has not notified the instructor of reasons for the absences prior to reaching the 10 percent limit.  Contact the Veterans Assistance office for additional information.

Students should be aware that equipment and materials for a particular laboratory experiment are only made available for use over a seven-day period and make-up experiments outside that period are not permitted. However, any student who unavoidably misses his/her normal laboratory session does have the option of attending another section=s session during the seven-day period, if space is available and at the session instructor=s discretion. Failure to attend a scheduled chemistry laboratory class during the calendar week assigned to a particular experiment will result in a grade of zero for all aspects of that experiment.

Academic Assistance:

Your instructor is available to you outside of class for academic assistance. Full-time faculty maintain and post regularly scheduled office hours. Part-time faculty are accessible in a variety of ways, which may include conferences before and after class or by appointment, telephone conferences, and E-mail. The phone number for contacting your instructor is provided on your syllabus addendum or cover sheet.

Self study interactive compact disks (CD) are available for use in 700/301 and the LAS  Other Organic Chemistry textbooks, along with accompanying solution manuals are available for use at the Reference Desk of the LRC (Library).  Several web pages are available including:
