Organic chemistry course will provide students with a well-rounded, integrated background at the
first year level covering key concepts in the areas of organic chemistry with a particular
emphasis on their relevance to industrial and biological processes. It is focused on an in-depth
analysis of several types of organic reactions from a mechanistic and stereochemical outcome
viewpoint with particular reference to natural products and the synthesis of compounds of
biological and commercial importance. It also introduces physical methods used in the study of
organic compounds.
