ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II

Aim of the Course: The course deals with organic compounds like alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, acids and their properties. The course also describes the principles of spectroscopy and spectral applications to organic molecules and also introduces the fundamentals of green chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. 

 Objective of the Course: The students will get an interesting idea about the preparation and properties, mechanism of reactions of many organic conversions and of organic compounds. They will also get sufficient knowledge to interpret spectrum of organic compounds and the novel areas of organic chemistry – the supramolecular and green chemistry.

Module I: Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers

Module II : Aldehydes and Ketones

Module III: Carboxylic acids, Sulphonic acid and their Derivatives

Module IV: Organic Nitrogen Compounds

Module V: Organic Spectroscopy I

Module VI Organic Spectroscopy II

Module VII: New Frontiers in Organic Chemistry

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY – III

Aim of the course: The main objective of this course is to help students to learn the important multidisciplinary areas of bioinorganic chemistry and organometallic chemistry. The main theme of this course is the importance of fundamental concepts needed to understand transition metal chemistry, including transition meta l ions in biological systems and about the inner transition elements and the principles of coordination chemistry. The course also describes about the general principles of isolation and purification of elements and instrumental methods of analysis. 

 Objectives: Students, upon completion of this course, will gain exposure and practice in the areas of inorganic chemistry which include coordination chemistry, transition and inner transition elements. Students will have a thorough understanding of the classification of several organometallic reactions and will be able to identify the role of organometallic compounds in organic synthesis. Instrumental methods of analysis and general principles of isolation of elements help the students to understand about the experimental techniques used in chemistry and how the elements are isolated from their ores.
