TEXT:ORGANIC CHEMISTRY by L. G. Wade (6th ed.; Prentice Hall)
The goal of the course is to have the student utilize the bonding and molecular structural theories, and the reaction mechanisms (SN1, SN2, E1, E2, ionic addition, etc) presented in CM2113 as a foundation for building the student’s knowledge of organic chemistry. The chemistry of polyenes, aromatics, amines, ethers and carbonyl compounds will be examined. NMR and UV spectroscopies will be taught to supplement IR and MS presented in CM2113. Some of the reactions and mechanisms to be studied are additions to polyenes, electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitutions, additions to carbonyl groups, substitutions at carbonyl groups, reactions alpha to the carbonyl group, amines, and phenols, free radical polymerizations, and pericyclic reactions. Some biomolecules such as carbohydrates, amino acids, fats, and terpenes will be introduced with an emphasis being placed on the carbohydrates. The laboratory course CM2221 is a corequisite for the course and the NMR and other spectroscopies taught in the laboratory will be utilized in this lecture course. Various spectroscopes are major topics in the lecture book and the laboratory serves to give the student first-hand experiences for understanding them. The laboratory will also allow the student to experience and see first hand some of the reactions discussed in lecture.

ATTENDANCE
Attendance is required. Send an explanation for any absence or tardy is to be reported by E-mail. This will enable the instructor to have a written record. The E-mail address is BOONEJR or ; the subject of the e-mail should be Organic Absence or Tardy (date). Tardies may result in points off. Class attendance is required according to the University’s Catalog.
Tests or work missed due to unexcused and unjustifiable absences cannot be made up.
Tests or work missed due to unexcused but justifiable absences may be made up but for less than full credit. These usually are planned absences and the instructor is informed beforehand.
Tests or work missed due to excused absences may be made up for full credit. These usually are sickness (with doctor excuse) or death in immediate family.
The instructor will have to decide how a missed test or work is to be made up.
Tardiness is a form of absenteeism and it will be treated as such.
Absences from daily quizzes or work cannot be made up, since to some degree, they measure attendance and class participation.
In laboratory courses or courses with a laboratory, failure to do or complete the write up (including the notebook) for two or more laboratory exercises will result in a final grade of F for the course regardless of the overall course average.
A student’s final average cannot behigher than his percent attendance.
HOMEWORK, ASSIGNMENTS, AND READINGS
All problems at the end of the covered chapters are assigned. A problem notebook should be maintained and kept up to date. Notebooks are subject to being checked at any time. (Obviously problems related to "skipped" material may also be skipped.) Homework assignment may be given by E-mail. Reading assignments from current journals and books may be given. Important information, reaction, and mechanism cards should be prepared on a regular basis (4" x 6", reactants on front, products on back)
______
The class will be conducted according to Lipscomb’s Academic Honor Code and students will be requested to sign the pledge: “On my honor as a gentleman/lady, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this examination/assignment and if I have observed such actions, I will follow the prescribed honor code procedures.” Collaboration and discussion of homework problems are common practices and are okay for the most part (The instructor will make clear when no collaborations should take place). Collaboration is not blatantly copying the work of another. During a test or quiz you may not simply exit the room to go to the rest room. You should request permission and turn in your test, and when you return you may resume the test in a front row seat. No electronic devices, cell phones, pagers, calculators (except those that are approved) are to be used or present during a test or quiz.______
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STUDYING
Read the chapter.
Work the problems within the chapter as you go.
Think visually -- Draw it -- Use models.
Do the pre-lecture quiz on the chapter.
Work the problems at the end of the chapter.
Re-read the chapter and try again on the problems you were unable to work the first time.
Listen.
Take notes. Copy and fill in your notes, everyday. Make reaction cards.
Ask questions.
Study regularly – daily, nightly, and weekends.
The chapter summaries outline what you should know and be able to do.
Tests are closed book. Can you work the problems without usingthe text book and answer book? The answer book always makes it look easy, maybe too easy.
Pre-lecture chapter quizzes on WebCT (Lipscomb Central under secure aea or better just use Webct.Lipscomb.edu)
In order to encourage the student to read the chapter, a pre-lecture quiz will be given on each chapter. The student is to read the chapter, then answer a few (3-6) short answer questions on the chapter using WebCT. There will be a time limit on each quiz (15-30 minutes). In general, a quiz will be due at midnight following the first lecture on a chapter. (e.g. If the first lecture on a chapter is on Wednesday, the quiz for that chapter must be completed by midnight of Wed/Thurs.)
Many of the questions will be multiple choice. A question that is short answer must be specifically and exactly answered in order for the computer to accept it. Therefore I plan to give questions requiring answers such as names, numbers, molecular formulas, yes, no, ect.
For entering “short answer” answers “the rules are”:
For numerical answers use the numbers:1 (not one)4 (not four)
For words and chemical names use lower case only:yes (not Yes)methane (not Methane)
For chemical symbols will use upper and lower cases just as on the periodic chart: Cu
For chemical/molecular formulas use the following guidelines:
organic formulas are to be written C first, H second, followed by O, then the other elements alphabetically. Numeric subscripts are not be used to enter answers, just enter regular numbers:
C5H10OClN = C5H10OClN(watch the zeroes and the letter O’s)
C, H, O (others in alphabetical order following O)
For small inorganic formulas use their most common forms: HCl as HCl (not ClH), H2O as H2O (not OH2), CaCl2 as CaCl2 (not Cl2Ca), etc.
If a question requires several short answers, they are to be separated with a semi-colon
followed by a space : ans; ans; ans; ans: ….. (e.g. …..is the first structure in each pair…? Then give the answer for each pair as: no; yes; no; no)
If the question requires selecting an answer from a list, the list will use Roman numerals (or letters), so use the Roman numerals (or letters) to answer the questions: (e.g. …. Which is the smallest ion? The largest? I. I - II. Br - III. Cl - IV. F -
Then give the answer as:IV; I[Note: Roman numerals are upper case]
Remember to submit the answer to each question at each question.
