Course Objectives

• This subject deals with classification and nomenclature of simple organic
  compounds, structural isomerism, intermediates forming in reactions, important physical
  properties, reactions and methods of preparation of these compounds. The syllabus also
  emphasizes on mechanisms and orientation of reactions.

Learning Outcomes

• Upon completion of the course the student shall be able to
  1. write the structure, name and the type of isomerism of the organic compound
  2. write the reaction, name the reaction and orientation of reactions
  3. account for reactivity/stability of compounds,
  4. identify/confirm the identification of organic compound

Course Syllabus

Systematic qualitative analysis of unknown organic compounds like
1. Preliminary test: Color, odour, aliphatic/aromatic compounds, saturation
and unsaturation, etc.
2. Detection of elements like Nitrogen, Sulphur and Halogen by
Lassaigne’s test
3. Solubility test
4. Functional group test like Phenols, Amides/ Urea, Carbohydrates,
Amines, Carboxylic acids, Aldehydes and Ketones, Alcohols, Esters,
Aromatic and Halogenated Hydrocarbons, Nitro compounds and
Anilides.
5. Melting point/Boiling point of organic compounds
6. Identification of the unknown compound from the literature using
melting point/ boiling point.
7. Preparation of the derivatives and confirmation of the unknown
compound by melting point/ boiling point.
8. Minimum 5 unknown organic compounds to be analysed systematically. 2. Preparation of suitable solid derivatives from organic compounds
3. Construction of molecular models
