Course Description: (3 credits)The nomenclature, structure, physical properties, synthesis and selected reactions of the basic functional groups in organic chemistry are discussed. Functional groups covered include alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives. The presence of these functional groups in natural products is emphasized. The application of spectroscopic methods for structure determination in simple organic molecules is discussed.
Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C- in CHEM 164 or 261
Laboratory: Laboratory classes begin the second week of the term. The laboratory component is compulsory for credit in CHEM 263; attendance is mandatory and no make-up labs are available. If you know that you will be unable to attend a scheduled laboratory period, it is your responsibility to inform your laboratory instructor at least one week prior so that you can complete the experiment in another laboratory session. If a laboratory period is missed for a valid reason, the experiment may not be counted towards the final laboratory grade. In all other cases, a mark of zero will be assigned. To obtain a minimum grade of C- in CHEM 263, a score of 50% or higher must be obtained for the laboratory component and, at least 70% of the experiments, must be completed.
Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: • Apply chemical concepts learned in the lecture to laboratory situations and vice versa. • Identify and name a variety of organic functional groups (alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, phenols, ethers, aromatic compounds, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives). Draw structural formulas of organic compounds fromtheir names and vice versa. • Summarize and predict the chemical and spectroscopic properties of an organic compound based on the functional group(s) present in the molecule. • Summarize the theory and application of infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy as applied to organic compounds. • Determine the structural formula of a simple organic compound using information provided by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, and UV spectroscopy).

Student Responsibilities:
Students are expected to be aware of their academic responsibilities as outlined in MacEwan University Policy E3101: Student Rights and Responsibilities (found here).
1. Academic Integrity: All forms of student dishonesty are considered unacceptable. MacEwan University Policy C1000: Academic Integrity (found here) promotes honesty, fairness, respect, trust, and responsibility in all academic work. According to the policy, “Academic dishonesty involves participating in acts by which a person fraudulently gains or intentionally attempts to gain an unfair academic advantage thereby compromising the integrity of the academic process”. All incidents of academic dishonesty are reported and recorded by the Academic Integrity Office. The penalties and sanctions for academic dishonesty can include the following: a mark reduction up to zero on a piece of academic work, a grade reduction up to an F in the course, and suspension or expulsion (with transcript notation) from the University. Please see the academic integrity policy for more details. You are responsible for understanding what constitutes academic dishonesty.
2. Registration Status: You are responsible for your registration status at the University. Academic advisors (Rm 6-211) may assist you with the process of registration, including adding or dropping of courses, but it is your responsibility to verify that these changes have been officially completed. This verification can be done at any time using myStudentSystem. You should check your official registration status before the last date to officially withdraw from the course.
3. Course prerequisites: Students are responsible for having all prerequisites required for a given course. Prerequisite checks are periodically carried out and any students who do not have the appropriate prerequisite may be removed from the course. If you are removed from the course, you may be responsible for any tuition costs up to the date of removal. Any courses from another post-secondary institute cannot be used as a prerequisite until assessed and approved for transfer credit.
4. Withdrawing From The Course: If you stop attending class you must complete a Course Drop Form, have it signed by a Academic Advisor (Rm 6-211), and submit it to the Office of the University Registrar by the last day to withdraw as provided in the Academic Schedule in the Academic Calendar. Failure to officially withdraw will result in a grade being assigned based on course work completed. Late withdrawals are only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
5. Exams: Your student photo I.D. is required at exams. It is at the discretion of the instructor whether you will be allowed to write the exam if you arrive over 15 minutes after the exam has begun. You must remain in the exam room for at least 20 minutes from the time it commenced. Only calculators approved for use by the instructor may be used during examinations, which include any laboratory and lecture quizzes. Any devices capable of external communication, such as cell phones, iPods and blue tooth enabled devices, cannot be used for exams of any type. Permission to use the washroom during exams is at the discretion of the instructor and may require accompaniment.
6. Missed Term Exams: If you miss a term examination you must provide the instructor with an explanation within 24 hours or a mark of zero may be given. Notification may be provided through email, voice mail, or direct contact with the instructor. Official documentation as to why the examination was missed will be needed to assess whether your absence will be excused or not. If your absence is excused the weight of this examination will be added to the weight of the final examination in the course. Medical excuses must include the date you were examined, the specific dates for the period of the illness, a clear statement indicating that the severity of the illness prevented you from attending school or work, and the signature of the examining physician (a signature by office staff on behalf of the physician is not acceptable). Medical notes obtained subsequent to the date of the examination are generally not accepted. A mark of zero will be given if the instructor considers the excuse inappropriate or inadequately substantiated.
7. Final Exams: You are responsible for accessing and confirming the official date, time, duration and location of the final exam. The Office of the University Registrar releases the official schedule no later than half-way through the term. This schedule is available here . Students are required to be available for the entire exam period. For further information, see MacEwan University Policy C2005: Final Assessment (found here).
8. Deferred Final Exam: University policy allows for the deferral of exams for extenuating circumstances, such as illness or catastrophic events. To apply for a deferral, see Program Services (Rm 6-211). Applications must be received by Program Services within two business days of the missed exam. A fee of $50 per exam, up to a maximum of $100, will be charged to your account. Note that a vacation, even if paid for and/or documented, is not grounds for an exam deferral. Application forms are available from the Program Services office, and must be submitted with appropriate documentation. Students should advise their instructor prior to the examination if they know beforehand that they will be unable to attend the scheduled examination time. If you have any questions about the process please contact Program Services (780 497 4520 or [email protected]). For further information please refer to MacEwan University Policy C2005: Final Assessment (found here) and Policy C2020: Grading (found here).
9. Late Assignments (including laboratory assignments): As due dates for assignments are known well in advance, medical and other excuses are generally not accepted as a reason for submitting late assignments.
10. Cell Phones: All cell phones are to be turned off during class and exam periods (except under exceptional circumstances in which approval has been given by the instructor).
11. Students with Disabilities: Students with disabilities who may have special requirements in this course are advised to discuss their needs with Services to Students with Disabilities located in the Student Life office. You should advise the course instructor(s) of any special needs that are identified. See Policy E3400 Students with Disabilities (found here).
12. Student Appeals: The University has a policy regarding Student Appeals (E3103, found here). You should access this policy to become aware of the deadlines and guidelines that need to be followed if you are appealing a grade or other University assessment. Assistance with the appeals process is available through counsellors in the Student Life office. Please call 780 497 5064 to make an appointment.
