Organic Chemistry I

(Pre-requisite: CHM 221 and CHM 222)

Reaction mechanism: Fundamental concepts: Classification of reactions and reagents methods of investigation, energy profiles and reaction rates. Detailed treatment of displacement reactions – nucleophilic electrophilie substitution at saturated carbon atom electrophilic and meleophilic aromatic substitution, addition and elimination reaction, estcrification and hydrolysis. Keto-enol tautomarism – types and theories.
