Organic Chemistry II: Halogen, Oxygen and Sulphur Containing Functional Groups (Theory)
|
CO52: Explain the synthesis and reactivity of various types of aliphatic alcohols (dihydric) and phenols and thiols. CO53: Describe the synthesis and reactivity of ethers, thioethers and epoxides. CO54: Predict the relative reactivity of different carbonyl compounds (saturated and unsaturated aldehydes and ketones) and their syntheses. CO55: Discuss the acidity and reactivity of active methylene groups. CO56: Outline the synthesis of carboxylic acids and its derivatives and compare the acidity of carboxylic acids, alcohols and phenols. CO57: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction. |
Approach in teaching: Interactive lectures, tutorials, group discussions and e-learning.
Learning activities for the students: Peer learning, e-learning, problem solving through tutorials and group discussions.
