Course Description: A continuation of CHM 110 (Organic Chemistry I) with emphasis placed on the structure (including spectroscopic analysis) and chemistry of aromatic compounds, compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen, and carbonyl compounds. Credits: 3.0 Course Outcomes: At the end of this course students will be able to: 1. Apply the basic concepts of chemical bonding and the three dimensional structure of molecules (including isomerization, conformational analysis, and identification of functional groups) to describe how structural effects determine the physical and chemical properties of organic compounds. 2. Demonstrate knowledge of the IUPAC nomenclature system by providing the correct name of an organic compound provided a structure and by providing the correct structure of an organic compound provided its IUPAC or common name. 3. Use fundamental chemical principles (including acid-base theory, thermodynamics, and kinetics) to explain chemical reactivity and to predict the products of organic reactions. 4. Illustrate basic concepts relating to chemical reactivity by proposing detailed mechanisms for organic reactions. 5. Develop strategies for the synthesis of target molecules and evaluate such strategies for mechanistic and practical issues associated with them. 6. Use spectroscopic data (MS, IR, NMR) to propose a structure of an organic molecule. Text: Organic Chemistry 8 th Edition by L.G. Wade Jr. and an access code to the on-line homework/testing site MasteringChemistry are required. 1

2 The text and access code are packaged together and are available in the bookstore. The bookstore also has an optional package that includes the textbook, access code, Student Solutions Manual and a Molecular Modeling kit. The molecular modeling kit is strongly recommended. Please note: access codes cannot be transferred from one student to another so do NOT purchase a used access code. Attendance: It is expected that you will attend all lectures. Although attendance at recitation is not required, it is highly recommended that you attend recitation. Part of your grade will include graded inclass assignments that will occur during the regularly scheduled lecture period. The in-class assignments may NOT be announced in advance (because you are expected to attend all lectures). A grade of 0 will be assigned to all missed in-class assignments, quizzes, and exams (including the Final Exam). If you do not attend a lecture, you are responsible for all material covered during your absence. Make arrangements to get any missed lecture notes and/or handouts from a classmate or from CourseSite. Lecture Notes: The lecture PowerPoints are available on CourseSite. The PowerPoints serve as the framework during lecture, but they are by no means a complete set of notes. Expect to take notes and do problems during lecture. Organic Chemistry is best learned by actively doing and writing reactions and mechanisms. To ensure full participation from every student, all electronic devices must be silenced during lecture texting on cell phones or typing on personal computers is not allowed during lecture time. If there are any issues with the use of electronic devices after one initial warning, you will receive a section 3 notice. Reading Assignments and Homework: You are expected to read all sections of each textbook chapter covered in the course. Homework problems have been assigned for each chapter and their solutions will be discussed during recitation or upon request during office hours or after class. Additional problems may be assigned as the semester progresses. Additional problem sets may be provided throughout the semester. These are to help you with specific topics covered in lecture. The solutions to these problem sets will be posted on CourseSite. Homework problems will not be collected or graded, but you are responsible for doing the assignments. Doing all assigned problems is an essential part of mastering the material in this course. It is highly recommended that you read the chapter before you come to lecture, follow the syllabus and learning objectives when you study and make sure you can do all assigned homework problems. One of the main focuses of this class is building problem solving and analytical reasoning skills; memorization will not build these skills, but practice will. Many of the test questions will resemble the end-of-chapter problems in the textbook. Homework Problems: 2

You will have 50 minutes to complete the exam. Each exam will start promptly at 10:10 a.m. Extra time will not be allotted for the exam if you are late, so make sure you are ready and on time. If a student misses an exam, they will receive a grade of zero. The Final Exam (weighted as two exams; 200 points total) will be held according to the University s Final Exam Schedule. The Final Exam is mandatory and cumulative. It will contain information covered in both Organic I and II. If the grade earned on the Final Exam is greater than your lowest exam grade, the grade from the final will replace your lowest exam grade. There are no make-up final exams. Students that miss the Final Exam will receive a zero for the final. The Final Exam will not be given before the scheduled day for any reason. Make-up/Excused Absence Policy: Make-up Exams: Students who will not be able to take an exam at the scheduled time due to an irresolvable conflict with a major responsibility must provide some written documentation to verify the conflict. This situation may occur for students on official university business, including athletes. A make-up exam may be given at another arranged time: however, under no circumstances will the make-up exam be given after the exams have been returned to the rest of the class. Approval must be obtained from the Instructor at least two weeks before the scheduled test date. No special accommodations will be made due to personal travel plans: it is your responsibility to ensure that you are present for all exams including the final. Excused Absences: Students who do not take an exam due to extenuating and documented circumstances (significant sudden illness, car accident etc.) may be granted an excused absence with the approval of the Instructor and documentation from the Dean of Students as warranted. Excused 3

4 absences will only be considered if the student notifies the Instructor of the circumstances within 24 hours of the missed exam. In the event of an excused absence, the student will be excused from taking the exam and the final grade will be calculated by using 100 fewer points as the total point value. Students will only be granted one excused absence in a semester. **Missed in-class assignments cannot be made up and excused absences cannot be used for missed in-class assignments. Mastering Chemistry Assignments: A total of six graded assignments are posted on Mastering Chemistry. Each graded assignment is worth 10 points. You can earn a maximum cumulative score of 50 points total towards your final grade. If the total points of all 6 graded assignments exceeds 50 points, you will only receive 50 points. The Mastering Chemistry Course ID is: CHM112LEHIGH27194 Each assignment must be completed before the due date/time. Since you have multiple days to complete the assignment, late submissions will not receive credit regardless of the reason for your failure to submit the assignment before the deadline. Students are required to have a secure and reliable internet connection to access the Mastering Chemistry platform. Therefore, the Mastering Chemistry assignments will not be reset for any reason including technical difficulties. You will have 48 hours after the due date of each assignment to contact (in person, by phone or ) your Instructor regarding any discrepancies with your score: after this period, all scores are final. You are expected to complete each assignment on your own; any violation of this policy will be a violation of the University s Academic Integrity Policy and will be reported to the Dean of Students. Additional Graded Assignments: Several additional graded in-class assignments will be provided throughout the semester during the regular lecture period. These assignments may take several forms (multiple choice quizzes, fill in the blank, propose a mechanism, predict the product, explain a concept, take-home assignments or even write what is most confusing to you at that time) and may not be announced in advance. The point values of the assignments may vary with the assignment. Your end-ofthe-semester in-class assignment grade will simply be the sum of all the points you earned on your in-class assignments. The total number of points/assignments given throughout the semester will exceed 100 points. While it is possible to obtain more than 100 points for in-class assignments, only a maximum cumulative score of 100 points will be used towards your final grade. You are expected to attend all lecture periods and thus, there will be no make-up opportunities for these in-class assignments. Grading Policy: Your final grade for the course will be calculated as follows: Three in-class exams (100 points each) Mastering Chemistry Assignments (50 points total MAX) Additional in-class assignments (100 points total MAX) 300 points 50 points 100 points 4

5 Final Exam Grade 200 points Total Points = 650 Your final grade for the course will be determined based on the percentage of the total points you earned over the semester. The exact cut offs for grades (including +/- grades) will not be determined until after the Final Exam. Approximate ranges are as follows: % A 80-90% B 70-80% C 60-70% D less than 60% F Do not expect a curve to be applied in the end. Keep in mind that the grade you receive on the Final Exam may be used to replace your lowest hour exam grade if it is in your favor. There is no extra credit for this course. The opportunity to earn extra points will be in the form of Bonus questions on the three in-class exams. The Final Exam will not have any bonus questions. No additional extra credit opportunities will be provided. Miscellaneous Policies/Procedures: There will be a NO ELECTRONICS policy during lectures and exams. Cell phones, i-pods, i-pads, tablets, laptop computers, and all other electronic devices and technologies with calculation software, memories or communication capabilities may NOT be used during lecture and testing. They must be removed from the desk and put away. Please make sure your cell phone is silenced before putting it away. If there are any issues with the use of electronic devices after one initial warning, you will receive a section 3 notice. You should come to class prepared. You may need a calculator for the first part of this course, be sure to have one. Molecular models will also help throughout the semester. You are welcome to use them during both lecture and exams. You will not be permitted to borrow a classmate s molecular models during an exam. Students are expected to show respect for their classmates, themselves, and their instructors by conducting themselves with maturity, demonstrating sincere interest and respect for the ideas of others, and employing good manners. Specifically this means (but is not limited to) making sure your cell phone is silenced, not talking to others during lecture (unless working in a group setting), being respectful of others when they ask or answer questions, and coming to class on-time and leaving when class is over. If you are late, or need to leave early, please do so quietly and sit close to the door. For tests and exams: I will provide scrap paper along with the exam, all exam materials (including scrap paper) will be collected with your exam. All books and notes must be put away, cell phones are not permitted to be on your desk during an exam. You have seven 5

6 days from the date exams are made available to the class for pick-up to submit your exam for consideration for regrading. You must include a completed Request for Consideration for Regrading Form (available on CourseSite) with your exam. No part of lecture or recitation can be recorded (audio or video). A student requiring this particular academic accommodation must register with the Office of Academic Support Services at the beginning of each semester and then provide me with the official accommodation letter. It is your responsibility to keep track of your grades on your own. Simply keep a running total of your points to see where you stand. I will check and respond to throughout the day within reasonable working hours (typically between 9 am and 6 pm, Monday-Friday). I may periodically check over the weekend. Please do not expect an immediate response to an . Additional Information: All official correspondence will be sent to each student's Lehigh University issued address. This is the primary and official form of communication. Students are expected to check their University frequently and consistently. Any and all consequences that result when University is not read or checked regularly are the responsibility of the individual student. Academic Dishonesty is taken very seriously in this course. The Student Senate has formulated a policy on academic integrity that is hereby incorporated by reference. Each student should be familiar with the appropriate resources, available at All incidents of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Students Office. There are absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS. Equitable Community: Lehigh University endorses The Principles of Our Equitable Community ( We expect each member of this class to acknowledge and practice these Principles. Respect for each other and for differing viewpoints is a vital component of the learning environment inside and outside the classroom Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: If you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting accommodations, please contact both me and the Office of Academic Support Services, Williams Hall, Suite 301 ( ) as early as possible in the semester. You must have documentation from the Academic Support Services office before accommodations can be granted. This syllabus may be subject to change at the sole discretion of the Instructor. 6
