CO48: discuss the structures, preparations and chemical reactivity of polynuclear hydrocarbons and their important derivatives. CO49: outline mechanisms for reactions involving heterocycles (five and six membered) as starting materials and propose syntheses of heterocycles from the major classes. CO50: describe some of the important methods of preparation and properties of aliphatic and aromatic nitro and amino compounds mechanistically. CO51: summarize the functions of amino acids, peptides & proteins and sketch a detailed account of nucleic acids and their components with special emphasis on polynucleotides like DNA and RNA. CO52: describe the structure and functions of carbohydrates & differentiate between simple and complex structures of the same. |
