Course Objectives :
The course aims to give the students an introduction to understand the techniques used to in reaction mechanisms. To be able to correlate the stereo chemical structures of the reactants and products .
Course Description
Methods of determining a reaction mechanism, recognize and interpret the mechanisms of some common organic reactions from kinetic data, stereo chemical data, isotope labeling, kinetic isotope, and salt effects, and effects resulting from changes in substituents (electronic effects), reagents or solvents, nucleophilic and electrophonic substitution reaction, elimination and addition reactions and pericyclic reactions, propose the likely nature of the transition state and predict the effect any change of reaction conditions will have on the reaction .
Main text books :
§ Guidebook to Mechanism in Organic Chemistry, by peter sykes, 6th ed., Longman.
Subsidiary books :
