CHEM 5331 Advanced Organic Chemistry

I.  BONDING IN ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (What is a “bond”? Do “bonds” exist in organic compounds?)

Group Page

II. STRUCTURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS USING VALENCE BOND APPROACH (How stable is a compound? How reactive is a compound? What is the “relative” rate between compounds?)

III. DIFFERENTIATING POSSIBLE REACTION MECHANISMS (Is there an intermediate? If there is an intermediate, what is the structure? Where is charge located in a transition state?)

IV. CASE STUDEIS FOR TYPES OF MECHANISMS (Is a particular mechanism “allowed” to occur? If a particular mechanism does occur,

what conditions will accelerate the reaction rate?)
