Organic Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of carbon-containing compounds. The course introduces learners to the fundamental principles governing organic molecules, including hydrocarbons and their derivatives, functional groups, nomenclature, isomerism, reaction mechanisms, and laboratory techniques used in organic synthesis and analysis.

Trainees will explore the relationship between molecular structure and chemical behavior, learn how organic compounds are classified and named according to IUPAC rules, and investigate important reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, and other functional groups. The course also highlights the applications of organic chemistry in medicine, agriculture, industry, biotechnology, and everyday life.

Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, trainees should be able to:

Explain the basic concepts and principles of organic chemistry.

Classify and name organic compounds using IUPAC nomenclature.

Describe the structures and properties of major classes of organic compounds.

Explain organic reaction mechanisms and predict reaction products.

Perform basic organic laboratory techniques safely and accurately.

Analyze and interpret organic chemistry data and spectra.

Relate organic chemistry concepts to industrial, environmental, and biological applications.
