Required text

Course Philosophy

This course strongly accentuates reaction mechanisms and theoretical understanding of organic chemical reactions. On exams, mechanisms must be written out exactly (for full credit), with each step on a separate, numbered line, and the rate-determining step, if any, specified as "rds" or a slow step as "slow" over the reaction arrows. The student should be able to rationalize why the appropriate step is rate determining or slow, also. All steps known to be equilibria ( as mentioned in class) must be so indicated by the use of equilibrium arrows. Theoretical explanations of structure, rate, specificity, etc. must be logical and complete to the level expounded by the instructor in class. Great emphasis is placed upon the specific material discussed in the lecture, understood at the level at which it is presented and demonstrated appropriately on the exams..

Transition state models are often required and must be derived from resonance theory, not simply written down as dotted line/partial charge structures. Transition states are characterized by various characteristics such as carbocation or radical or alkene character and often this must be refined to a more specific sub-character, such as primary or secondary or tertiary carbocation character or arenium ion character or monosubstituted or disubstituted alkene character. The characterization is then extended by the use of the Hammond postulate, whenever it is applicable, to indicate whether the transition state has much or a little of the specified character. It will usually be necessary to explain the specific application of the Hammond postulate and how it is being applied.

The Method of Competing Transition States must be used in many cases to explain the results of competing reactions such as orientation in electrophilic aromatic substitution, or relative rates, or reaction specificity.

For Further information on the conventions of this course for writing reaction mechanisms, deriving and characterizing TS's, and using the Method of Competing Transition States please see the corresponding Ch 610A material on my web site.
