Module Aims       

• Applications of the following organic classes: Organic Halides, Alcohols, ethers, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic (and their derivatives) and amines
• Learning the basis of nomenclature, physical properties, synthesis and reactions  
• Learning the mechanisms of the reactions in particular SN1/SN2&E1/E2
• Learning how to write a scheme including multi-step reactions.
• The ability of the students to search using the available references and the internet.
• Recognize the basis of nomenclature, physical properties, synthesis and reactions of the following organic classes: Organic halides, alcohols, ethers, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic (and their derivatives) and amines
• Acquire how to write a scheme for converting one organic compound to another
• State how to write the mechanisms of the reactions
• Teaching strategies to be used to develop that knowledge
