Organic Chemistry for Engineers

Main topics of this course are concerning organic nomenclature, chemical bonding including resonance concept and acid-base concept, organic functional groups, and the relationship between structures of molecules, physical properties and chemical properties of organic compounds. The structure topics discuss on chemical bonding, covalent bond properties that related to the static aspect of molecules (including stereochemistry) as well as its dynamic aspect (conformation). The physical properties topic includes the state of materials, solubility, melting point and boiling points; the chemical properties topic includes acid-base properties, oxidation and reduction reaction, electrophylic and nucleophylic addition reaction, electrophylic and nucleophylic substitution reaction, elimination and free-radical reaction especially halogenation reaction. Other topics are concerning the application of organic chemistry knowledge in understanding of the application of organic compounds and reactions in living organism as well as in industrial applications.
