Organic Chemistry 1

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Organic Chemistry 1
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. name and draw structures of molecules containing functional groups, including conformations. 2. explain the different steps in radical halogenation reactions (assessed by being able to apply a radical halogenation on a given substrate) including the mechanism and be able to explain the chemo and regioselectivity of these reactions. 3. define the concepts of ring strain, transannular strain and eclipsed interactions (torsional strain) and apply this to the conformational analysis of (a)cyclic compounds. 4. analyse a compound with the concepts of stereochemistry, and stereo-isomerism, including chirality, which leads to a description of a compound with these terms. 5. reproduce and recognize the physical and structural properties of alcohols and ethers, their synthesis (and that of their derivatives) and their conversions. 6. carry out the straightforward retrosynthetic analyses of molecules with limited functional groups and design the appropriate synthesis schemes. The same holds for alkenes and alkynes. 7. to provide the basic concepts of cyclo-addition reactions and electrocyclisations and be able to solve synthetic problems containing these reactions. In addition, students should be able to apply the principles of electrophilic aromatic substitution, including the regioselectivity principles, and be able to explain (and predict) the regioselectivity of a given substitution reaction.
Omschrijving	The aim of this part is to gain insight in a number of important principles of organic chemistry. A focal point is the understanding and the application of chemical reactions, and to get insight in the structure and reactivity of molecules. Function and reactivity of molecules is discussed in the context of materials, biologically active compounds and sustainable chemical transformations.

Entreevoorwaarden	The course unit assumes prior knowledge acquired from Molecules: structure, reactivity and Function in the Ia block of the first year Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. The learning objectives of the course unit are required as prior knowledge for the course units practical Synthesis and Analyses 1 and Organic Chemistry 2.
Opmerkingen	The final mark is 90% of the mark of the exam plus 10% of the mark of the mid-term test. It is estimated that 40% of the exam is testing whether the student can reproduce the content of the course, 40% whether the student can apply the content (solving problems), and 20% whether the student has deeper insight and abstraction.
