| •Course Purpose |
| The primary purpose of the course is to acquire a logical framework for understanding fundamental organic chemistry. This outline essentially provides the reactions of the organic compounds having critical functional groups, such as hydroxy, carbonyl, and amino groups, as well as their derivatives. Based on the knowledge educated following the course contents, the participants are expected to understand the reactions converting one functional group to another and solve the progressive problems sequentially. |
| •Prerequisite Subjects |

| •Textbook |
| Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function (Seventh Edition), Peter C. Vollhardt and Neil E. Schore, (W. H. Freeman and Company), New York, 2014, Chapters 8-9, and 17-20. |
| •Additional Reading |
| Organic Chemistry (second edition), Jonathan Clayden, Nick Greeves, and Stuart Warren (Oxford University Press), 2012 ISBN-10:0199270295. |
| •Grade Assessment |
| Examination [total 70%: midterm (30%) and final (40%)] and Assessment of Homework (30%): Credits will be awarded to those students who score 60 or more. Grades are as follows: S(x≧90), A(90>x≧80), B(80>x≧70), C(70>x≧60), and F(60>x). This assessment method can be reconsidered based on the pandemic condition. |
| •Notes |
| Submission of "Course Withdrawal Request Form is necessary to withdraw the course. The student needs to contact the course instructor when the student wants to withdraw from the course.
In the cases of any unavoidable reasons such as sickness, accident, or no attendance school, the student may get a grade of 'Absent' through the judgment of the course instructor and the student when the student submits a 'Course Withdrawal Request Form' to receive the 'Absent' grade. No submission of sickness/absence reports and lack of attendance score will result in an 'F' grade: It is for the protection of other attendances in the corresponding course from the frequent absences of the specific/uncertain student(s). This assessment can be reconsidered within pandemic conditions where the attendance can be replaced with the submission of assignments. |
| •Contacting Faculty |
| Communication through emails (instructor's e-mail: jyshin@chembio.nagoya-u.ac.jp and jyshin321@gamil.com) is available.
Students are recommended to prepare each lecture by reading the corresponding chapter in the textbook and to review it by solving the related homework questions. Each assignment is due by the start of the next class. |
