Organic Chemistry I & II

Formation of esters and hydrolysis using acids and bases

Reactions of organolithium compounds with copper iodide to make a new reactive organometallic

Why do hydrogen atoms split? When do they split? What is this voodoo? This is a discussion of the basics of NMR and how coupling is such a powerful tool.

The importance of group alignment in E2 elimination mechanisms.

IR and NMR spectroscopy of dienes.

A description of nitrosation of Arya and alkyl amines.

Dienes are quite versatile and have advantages in synthetic planning.

A new method for making carbon-carbon bonds. Any carbon-carbon bond formation is a "holy grail" reaction in synthetic chemistry, so the Diels-Alder reaction is great. And it makes a ring!

IR, HNMR, c13- NMR and Mass spec of carboxylic acids

Amide properties, acidity and reactions

Diene rearrangements give access to new structures.

An explanation of the basic mechanism of addition to carboxylic acid derivatives

Alkynes are similar to alkenes, so they undergo many similar types of reactions. And some new reactions.

Reactions of acid chlorides and acid anhydrides are very similar, so the reactions are compared together.
