The course can be broadly classified as a Physical Organic Chemistry
course. Understanding organic reaction mechanisms are extremely useful
in predicting the products and improving the reaction efficiency. A
student needs to know basic concepts in order to be able to write
reasonable reaction mechanisms. A mechanism cannot be considered valid
unless there is experimental evidence to support it. The student needs
to know basic experiments that can be used to validate reaction
mechanisms. Learning outcomes for the course: At the end of the course,
the student should be able to • Propose/write a mechanism for a given
organic reaction. • Design experiments to determine reaction
intermediates/mechanisms.
