Applications of Organic ChemistryCurrent LectureII. Course Objectives (also provided in syllabus)(1) recognize and distinguish various organic functional groups;(2) name diverse molecules of the various functional groups;(3) describe the physical properties of the various functional groups;(4) devise schemes for preparing the various functional groups;(5) show how the various functional groups can be used in synthesis;(6) draw and analyze mechanisms for the various transformations;(7) interpret IR, mass, and NMR spectra used to identify organic compounds.III. Meaning of Organic ChemistryOrganic compounds form the basis of life on Earth. Organic compounds are compounds thatcontain carbon, the fourth most abundant element in the universe. Carbon is the chemical basis of all life and, in humans, is the 2nd most common element present. The presence of carbon makes the array of organic compounds structurally diverse. Organic Chemistry is essentially the study of the structure and properties of molecules made of carbon and the reactions they undergo.a. Components of Organic ChemistryThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Functional Groups- used to classify organic compounds based on their chemical structuresNomenclature and structural drawings are used to name organic compounds andrepresent them visually.Eventually we will understand:- Properties such as mass, solubility, and hydrogen bonding of organic compounds- How reactions with organic compounds occur and their outcomes- How to characterize organic compounds and identify themb. Applications of Organic Chemistry include:- Developing new pharmaceuticals- Making plastics, dyes, and paints- Overall, Organic Chemistry is
