CHEM 110 ETR Introductory Chemistry Laboratory

CHEM 222 9MW 2T Organic Chemistry II Spring, 2013 Instructor Office Hours Dr. Vincent Giannamore MON: 8:30 – 11:00 Beauregard 140 TUE: 1:30 – 4:00 448-4501 WED: 8:30 – 11:00 [email protected] THUR: 1:30 – 4:00 FRI: by appointment

Websites: The Moodle site is at http://moodle2.nicholls.edu/moodle. There is also a link on the Nicholls home page. We will also use the WileyPlus site: http://edugen.wiley.com/edugen/class/cls309929. Most of you were already in the user database from past use of WileyPLUS. If so, I have already registered you for this class section. Check your profile to make sure the information there, especially the email address, is still correct. If you are not registered, you can go to the same site and click on register. You will be asked for your access code. If you do not have the access code that comes with a new textbook, you can also buy the code online. The site includes an online version of the text. If you are satisfied with that and don’t want a print version, you can save on the cost of the textbook.

Catalog Description: A continuation of CHEM 221.

Prerequisite: C or better in CHEM 221.

Required Textbooks and Materials: 1. Textbook: Klein, Organic Chemistry Binder Ready with Wiley Plus. 2. Wiley Plus Website Access. See information above. 3. Moodle site: See information above.

Course Goals: The student will develop an understanding of: 1. Representative reactions involving various classes of organic compounds 2. The concept of aromaticity 3. Chemical and physical properties of various classes of organic compounds

Student Outcome Objectives By the end of the semester the student will be able to:  identify and name organic compounds, using the proper nomenclature for the various classes of compounds  show the products of reactions  write a reaction sequence showing how to produce a desired product (i.e. synthesis)  use Hückel’s rule to determine if species are aromatic or antiaromatic  demonstrate a knowledge of electrophilic aromatic substitution, including substituent effects  demonstrate a knowledge of organometallic compounds and their uses in synthesis  demonstrate a knowledge of nucleophilic addition to carbonyl compounds and epoxides  demonstrate a knowledge of the oxidation of alcohols  demonstrate a knowledge of oxidation and reduction of carbonyl compounds  demonstrate a knowledge of enols and enolates and their reactions  demonstrate an understanding of substituent effects on acidity and basicity  demonstrate an understanding of nucleophilic acyl substitution including the relative reactivity of carboxylic acid derivatives  demonstrate an understanding of the use of enolates for carbon-carbon bond formation  demonstrate a knowledge of amines including methods of preparation and reactions

Course Content: We will cover chapters 8 to 11, 13 to 14, and 17 to 22. This includes the nomenclature, structure, synthesis and reactions (including mechanisms) of the following functional group classes: alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, phenols, ethers, epoxides, thiols, sulfide, aromatic compounds, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amides acyl halides, and amines. We will also cover mechanisms of reactions involving radical intermediates, conjugated -systems, pericyclic reactions, aromaticity, and  carbon chemistry. Topics in chapter 12 will be covered with other chapters. Topics in chapters 15 and 16 are covered in other courses.

Course Requirements: There will be two tests, eleven quizzes, homework and a final exam. Each test will be worth 120 points. There will be eleven quizzes – one on each chapter except chapter 22. Quizzes will be worth 25 points each. The lowest quiz score will be dropped. The final exam will be 240 points. There will be homework assignments for each chapter on WileyPLUS. Usually, there will be more than one assignment per chapter, but the total homework points for each chapter will be 20.

Methods of Evaluation and Grading: Total points possible for each item above will be as follows: Tests 240 Final Exam 240 Homework 480 Quizzes 250 TOTAL POINTS 1210

Your grade will be based on the total points that you obtain with the scale as follows:

1023 – 1210 points A 902 – 1022 points B 720 - 901 points C 599 - 719 points D 0 – 598 points F

The grading scale may be adjusted if warranted.

Make-Up Policy: If you have a valid excuse for missing a quiz, a test or an exam, you must contact me within one week of the scheduled date of the quiz or test or by the final exam time, whichever comes first. If I agree that the excuse is valid, I will do the following. For a quiz, I will give you a prorated grade based on your average score on other quizzes compared to the class average. I will not prorate more than one quiz for a student. For a test, I will schedule a make up test as soon as possible. Missing final exams presents a special problem. If you have a legitimate excuse for missing the exam, contact me as soon as possible and we will arrange for a make up exam. It may be necessary that an incomplete be given in such circumstances. There is no make up for missed homework. A note about valid excuses: An example of a valid excuse would be that you need a liver transplant that must be done without delay. An example of an invalid excuse is that your parents bought you tickets on a cruise that leaves before the day of the exam.

Attendance Policy: Attendance is required.

Withdrawal Deadline: The last day that a course can be dropped with a W is Wednesday, April 17.

Academic Honesty Policy: Any student found cheating will be subject to the penalties stated in the Code of Student Conduct; including, but not limited to, a score of zero on exam, expulsion from the class, or expulsion from the University.

Disability Accommodations: If you have a documented disability that requires assistance, you will need to register with the Office of Disability Services for coordination of your academic accommodations. The Office of Disability Services is located in Shaver Gymnasium Room 148. The phone number is (985) 448-4430

Classroom Behavior and Etiquette: Please behave with consideration for your fellow students and the instructor. Discussion should be conducted in an orderly and civil manner even if it is informal. Please try to keep the noise level down during group discussions. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Please turn cell phones off. If the phone rings during class time, leave the room and answer it and do not return until the next class. Cell phones must not only be off, but also put away, during quizzes, tests, and exams. They may not be used as calculators.

Academic Grievances: The proper procedure for filing grade appeals or grievances related to academic matters is listed in Section 5 of the Code of Student Conduct and at the following link: http://www.nicholls.edu/documents/student_life/code_of_conduct.pdf.

Continued Learning Following an Extreme Emergency: The following guidelines are meant: to help the business of education continue at Nicholls State University in the aftermath of an extreme emergency situation; to help faculty and students understand their roles in completing education requirements for courses in progress when the emergency began; and to encourage faculty to be imaginative and resourceful in finding ways to continue the education of students and the work of the university.

Faculty responsibilities:

Faculty members are responsible for their development in the use of the Moodle software. Faculty members are responsible for having a plan for continuing their courses using only Moodle and email. Faculty members should be allowed to continue their course in whatever way suits the completion of the course best and are encouraged to be creative in the continuation of these courses. Any adjustments or compensations, made to a student’s progress in special programs with labs, clinical sequences (i.e., Culinary, Nursing, etc.), or the like, should be made only in the immediate semester following the emergency. Faculty members are responsible for including these guidelines in all syllabi.

Student responsibilities:

Students are responsible for reading regular emergency notifications on the NSU website. Students are responsible for knowing how to use and access Moodle. Students are responsible for being familiar with emergency guidelines. Students are responsible for evacuating textbooks and other course materials. Students are responsible for knowing their Moodle student login and password. Students are responsible for contacting faculty regarding their intentions for completing the course.

NOTE:Faculty and students should be open, flexible and show compassion in determining the precise course of action.
