About Applied organic chemistry


Organic Molecules • Common bonding situation, bond strength and bond length, structural isomerism, degree of unsaturation, physical properties and molecular structure, melting points, boiling points and solubilities Orbital and Bonding • Atomic orbitals (AO), molecular orbital (MO), hybridization of AO to form bonds (single, double and triple), resonance and MO theory, types of resonance interactions, molecular orbital energies Basic and Acidity of Organic molecules • The acid-base equilibrium, rate of acid-base reaction, effects of atoms bonded to hydrogen on acidity, inductive effects, hydrogen bonding, resonance, table of acids and bases, substitution reaction Functional Groups and Nomenclature • Alkane, Alkene and Alkyne, Alkyl halides, Alcohol, Ethers and Amines, Aromatic Hydrocarbons, phenols, aldehydes and ketones, etc. Stereochemistry • Geometrical isomers, configuration of geometrical isomers, conformation (cyclic molecules), chirality, enantiomers (designating configuration and properties), etc. Structural determination of organic compounds using spectroscopy Overview of organic reactions • Proton transfer, nucleophilic substitution reactions, elimination reactions, etc. Industrial Organic Chemistry • Important Industrial organic chemicals Synthetic organic polymers • Types of polymerization, structure of polymers, major thermoplastic addition polymers, elastomers, etc. Naturally occurring organic molecules: • Carbohydrates • Amino acids, • peptides and proteins, nucleotides and nucleic acids, etc.
