Goals To give knowledge about basic concepts of stereochemistry, geometric isomery, physical and chemical properties of geometric isomers.
Course Content Geometric isomerism resulting from double bond, multiple double bond and cycloalkanes. Physical properties (melting point, dipol moments, IR, UV, NMR spectral properties) of these isomers. Conformation, conformational analysis. Compounds with fused rings (bicyclo and tricyclo systems).
Learning Outcomes 1) Recognize the stereochemical terms and concepts, and explain with examples.
2) Explain the structure-physical property, and chemical reactivity relationships of a stereoisomer.
3) Predict and depict the proper mechanism, and stereochemical outcome for a given reaction.
4) Apply the knowledge and skills gained during the course to solving problems.
5) Review the literatüre and write a report on a given subject relevant to stereochemistry.
