Course Summary: Organic Chemistry 2

This course covers the fundamental principles and descriptive aspects of organic chemistry, focusing on electronic effects, reaction mechanisms, and functional groups.

Key topics include:

  • Electronic effects (inductive, mesomeric, electromeric, conjugation)
  • Reaction mechanisms (nucleophilic substitution, elimination, addition, electrophilic substitution, radical reactions)
  • Hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, and halogenated derivatives
  • Functional groups: alcohols, phenols, ethers, amines, carbonyl compounds, and carboxylic acids
  • Organometallic chemistry and its applications

The laboratory component focuses on synthesis and purification techniques of organic compounds.
