The Course

Welcome to Chemistry 360: Organic Chemistry II, a three-credit, senior-level,laboratory science course. We assume that all students registering in thiscourse will have completed Athabasca Universitys Chemistry 350: OrganicChemistry I, or an equivalent university-level course in organic chemistry. Ifyou have not done so, you should contact the course professor immediately.

Organic Chemistry II deals with the chemistry of carbon compounds througha study of the characteristic reactions of the common functional groups.Particular emphasis is placed on the study of reaction mechanisms, in anattempt to show similarities between apparently unrelated reactions. Theimportance of stereochemistry is stressed throughout the course. Thecompulsory laboratory component of Chemistry 360 introduces the studentto the basic techniques employed in modern organic chemistry laboratories.Experiments have been selected to illustrate many of the principlesencountered in the theoretical part of the course. The course outlineprovided in this manual gives a more detailed description of the coursecontents.

Course Design

The course materials are designed for self-instruction and individualized-study. What you should learn and how you should learn it are described inthe Study Guide. This book contains 16 units, each of which corresponds toone of the chapters in Organic Chemistry, 7th ed., by John McMurry. Eachunit in the Study Guide contains a preview, a list of learning objectives, aseries of subsections corresponding to chapter subsections, and some hintson how to work through the unit. Let us look at exactly what you can expectto find under each of these headings.


Unit Preview

The Unit Preview is a brief discussion that outlines the overall approachtaken by the author in the relevant chapter of Organic Chemistry.

Unit Objectives

In this section, we inform you of the overall objectives that we expect you tobe able to fulfill when you have finished studying the unit.

Sections

The sections form the bulk of each unit. Each section in the Study Guidenormally contains the following features:

1. a list of objectives which are more detailed than those provided underthe heading Unit Objectives, and which may be one of the mostvaluable features of the Study Guide, because they tell you explicitly whatyou need to understand and to be able to do for each unit of the course.Questions on the examinations and tutor-marked assignments are basedonly on the unit objectives. However, you should be aware that manyquestions will require you to demonstrate mastery of a number of relatedobjectives, and that you should not place too narrow an interpretation oneach objective.

2. a list of key terms introduced in the section. Unless we have indicatedotherwise, definitions of these key terms are provided in AppendixCGlossary, beginning on page A10 of Organic Chemistry, 7th ed.

3. study notes, which may include hints on how to study the materialeffectively, additional information, and details of any errors that occur inthe textbook.

4. a list of suggested exercises. These exercises are designed to improveyour understanding of the material you have just studied and to developyour problem-solving skills. Refer to your notes and to the textbookwhen you attempt the exercises. The answers to all the exercises areprovided in the Solutions Manual or in Appendix DAnswers to In-textProblems, beginning on page A30 of the textbook. Do not spend a largeamount of time on any one exercise. If you are unable to make anyprogress after a few minutes of concentrated work, use the answersto help.

For further information, see the section of this manual titled How to UseYour Study Guide.

Self tests are given at the end of Units 18, 20, 22 and 24, and after each of theoptional units. These tests are designed to allow you to measure yourprogress in the coursethey are not a comprehensive overview of thematerial, nor are they at the same level of difficulty that you will encounterin the midterm and final examinations. [Sample examinations are given in


Sukhvir Aujla

this manual.] If you have difficulty with any self test, you should go backand review the material before going on.

The textbook by McMurry contains most of the information you will needto pass this course. It is a standard textbook used in many universities andcolleges throughout North America. It was chosen because it offers clearexplanations and interesting discussions of the material we wished thiscourse to cover. In addition, we felt that this textbook has an advantage inthat it includes some discussion of a number of advances made in organicchemistry during the last decade. The chapters are relatively short, and thetextbook contains problems, exercises and some review chapters.

Each chapter of the textbook concludes with a useful summary, and whereappropriate, a list of the reactions introduced in the chapter. These reviewsare excellent for quick reference and will help you to prepare forexaminations.

You should use a set of molecular models to assist you in understanding thestereochemical aspects of the course. If you cannot obtain a set of molecularmodels elsewhere, you may order one from the Athabasca UniversityLibrary (see the section of this manual titled Library Services). You mayuse molecular models during examinations.

Laboratories

You must complete about 32 hours of laboratory work to obtain credit inthis course. Labs are typically held for week-long sessions during thesummer in Athabasca, or for full-day sessions on weekends in Edmonton atselected times during the rest of the year. The Lab Coordinator will be ableto provide up-to-date information, or you may go to our Lab Informationwebsite at:

http://science.pc.athabascau.ca/labinfo.nsf

You must contact the Lab Coordinator to book into a scheduled laboratorysession. Students in Canada and the United States can reach the LabCoordinator by calling 1-800-788-9041 (the extension is 6276). All studentscan use electronic mail to contact the Lab Coordinator at

[email protected]

Information about the laboratory program and the experiments to becarried out is included in the Laboratory Manual. Note that your lab workaccounts for 20 per cent of your overall course mark. You must satisfactorilycomplete and write up a specified minimum number of experiments toobtain credit for this course.

Study Strategies

Chemistry 360 is a three-credit course and must be completed within the sixmonths of your contract period. This may seem like a long time, butprocrastination can rapidly put you in a difficult position. We suggest youstart right away and that you establish a study schedule. Your tutor canhelp you.

How fast you proceed through the first few units will depend on yourbackground in organic chemistry from Chemistry 350. If your background isweak, you may have to put in extra time, and this may affect your chancesof completing the course within the normal six-month contract period. Ifyou find that you really have trouble with Units 17 and 18, you shoulddiscuss the situation with your tutor and consider withdrawing from thecourse or taking some action to improve your understanding offundamental organic chemistry.

At a traditional university, this course would normally be spread over onesemester and take about 12-13 weeks to complete. If you wish to attain thisrate, follow the 13-week study schedule shown in the Course Outline andStudy Schedules section of this Student Manual. If you wish to proceed atsomewhat slower rate, refer to the 18- and 24-week schedules when youplan your own personal study schedule. Remember that regular studyhabits can be a major contributing factor to ultimate success in this course.Should unforeseen circumstances put you in a position where you find thatyou cannot complete the course within six months, check the AthabascaUniversity Calendar for current regulations about extensions.

Although the amount of time that a student will need to spend on thecourse will depend on a variety of factors, students intending to completethe course in 13 weeks should be prepared to spend at least nine (9) hoursper week on the course. You may need additional time when you havelaboratory reports to write, or when you are reviewing for an examination.We suggest that you start Unit 17 now. As you work through it, make a noteof any questions you have on content, study procedures, etc. Then, beforeyou go on to the next unit, contact your tutor to clear up these questions.

How to Use the Study Guide

As you study each unit in Chemistry 360, follow the procedure outlinedbelow.

1. Read the preview and the list of unit objectives at the beginning of theunit. At this stage, some students find it beneficial to obtain an overallpicture of the unit by quickly reading through the whole chapter in thetextbook.


2. Study each lesson in the unit by

a. reading the objectives and study notes (if any). These notes maycontain study hints or additional information, and will also identifyany errors that occur in the relevant section of the textbook.

b. reading the required pages in the textbook and using the objectivesand key terms to guide you in making your own notes.

c. completing the assigned exercises and checking your answers in theStudy Guide and the textbook. Note that your problem-solving abilitywill largely determine the overall grade that you receive in this course.

3. Review the unit by

a. making sure that you understand each of the unit objectives and cando what they require.

b. making sure that you can define and use the key terms.

c. reading the summary and the summary of reactions (whereappropriate) given at the end of the chapter in the textbook.

d. completing a selection of the recommended exercises listed in theStudy Guide.

4. Do the tutor-marked assignment (if there is one) and send it to yourtutor, or do the self test (if there is one) and check your own progress.

Warning:One of the problems with distance education is that, occasionally,lab reports, assignments, etc., get lost in the mail. As we can only give creditfor work that is actually received, we strongly advise that you keep a roughcopy of all of the work that you submit to your tutor by mail. Also, pleasemake certain that you attach a Tutor-marked Exercise form to any workyou mail in for grading. Student using the Moodle Assignment Drop Boxshould follow the instructions given on the Moodle course website.


Course Outline and Study Schedules

The table below gives a brief course outline and suggests the amount oftime students should spend on each unit for 13-, 18- and 24-week schedules.

Note: Students who are receiving financial assistance may face special timeconstraints. Please check your course registration for any restrictions on thelength of registration, and be prepared to adjust your schedule.

Note that while the emphasis of the final examination is on the materialcovered in Units 23-25 and the optional unit, you are still responsible for thematerial covered in Units 17-22. In addition, both midterm and finalexaminations assume you still have the skills and knowledge gained inyour previous organic chemistry course.

The hints given below may help you to write examinations successfully.

1. Write only when you and your tutor feel that you are adequatelyprepared, and when you have successfully completed the relevanttutor-marked assignments. Remember that the examination is based onthe objectives outlined in the Study Guide. Many of the questions will besimilar in format to those given in the tutor-marked assignments.

2. For short answer questions, do the ones that you find easiest first. Thisprocedure has two benefits. First, you can more quickly accumulateenough marks to pass the examination. Second, you gain confidence totackle the harder questions.

3. For numerical problems, show your work! Part marks will be given forcorrect methods even if your answer is incorrect. The answers tonumerical problems should be given to the correct number of significantfigures, and where appropriate, with the correct units. Marks may bededucted if answers are given to an incorrect number of significantfigures or in the wrong (or no) units.

Procedures for applying to write examinations may be found in the sectionof this Student Manual titled Applying for an Examination, below.

Applying for and Writing Examinations

If you are requesting to write an examination at Athabasca University(Athabasca), Athabasca University (Edmonton), or Athabasca University(Calgary), you must request your examination 10 calendar days before yourrequested write date.

If you live within Canada or the United States and are requesting anexamination to be written at an established Athabasca University ApprovedInvigilation Centre, you must request your examination 20 calendar daysbefore your requested write date.

If you live outside of Canada and the United States and are requesting anexamination to be written at an established Athabasca University ApprovedInvigilation Centre, your request must be received 30 calendar days beforeyour requested write date.

If you are requesting to write your examination using an invigilator who isnot established as an Athabasca University Approved Invigilator, yourrequest must be received 60 calendar days before your requested write date.

To request an examination, follow the steps below.

1. Review the Examinations and Grades section of the current AthabascaUniversity Calendar.

2. Arrange for a time to write your examination with one of AthabascaUniversitys Examination Centres or with an invigilator. For a list ofExamination Centres, see the websitehttp://www.athabascau.ca/registrar/invignet.php

If you would like to use an invigilator who has not been approved by theOffice of the Registrar, you may propose their approval by filling in theappropriate details on the online Examination Request Form. Keep inmind that invigilators may charge a fee, for which you will beresponsible.

3. Complete and submit the online Examination Request Form. If you donot have access to the Internet, fill out the Examination Request Formyou received from the Office of the Registrar, and submit it by fax


Sukhvir Aujla

(780.675.6174), or in person or by postal mail to Examination Services,Office of the Registrar, at Athabasca University, Athabasca.

Note: To minimize the time required to process your application, be surethat you provide all of the information requested on the form, and thatyou write legibly.

4. Confirm that your invigilator has received the examination packagebefore you arrive to write your examination. Take picture identificationand your student number with you when you go to the examination site.

After you have written an examination, please be patient while you wait forthe result. Examinations rarely reach our central offices in less than fivedays, and a ten-day lapse fromwhen the examination is written to its arrivalin Athabasca is not unusual. Chemistry examinations are normally markedwithin twenty-four hours of receipt, and your tutor is informed of the markbefore your next tutor night. Writing an examination one day and calling thecourse professor a day or two later does not expedite the marking process.

For security reasons, examinations cannot be returned to students, nor canthe professor enter into detailed discussions of specific examinationquestions. After each of your examinations is corrected, some writtencomments will be sent to you. Your tutor will also receive a copy of thesecomments, and you should discuss the issues raised with your tutor on thefirst suitable occasion.

Supplemental Examinations

Students who are dissatisfied with their grade on any examination, or whoobtain less than the required passing grade, may write a supplementalexamination. Only one supplemental is permitted per examination. Thehigher of the two grades received will be recorded as the official grade.Note that there is a fee for each supplemental examination.

Appeals

Appeals to examination or assignment grades should be discussed first withyour tutor or instructor. For the correct procedure, see Student Code ofConduct and Right to Appeal in the current Athabasca University Calendaror available through your myAU portal.


Student Conduct and Appeals

Three policies in particular govern the conduct of students of AthabascaUniversity:

the Non-Academic Misconduct Policy,

the Academic Misconduct Policy and

the Student Academic Appeals Committee Policy, also known as theAcademic Appeals Policy.

You are responsible for reading these policies carefully, as they affect yourstudies and your role as an Athabasca University student.

Links to these policies are provided though your myAU portal. Click on theStudent Services tab near the top of your myAU web page. Links to thepolicies affecting students are given in the Policies and Standards sectionat the bottom right-hand side of the Student Services page. We encourageyou to read all of the policies on this list.

Note: All of the assignments you submit for this course must be originalwork completed especially for the course. The use of assignmentscompleted for other courses, or assignments from other students, both areconsidered cheating, and will be penalized as such.

Intellectual Indebtedness

Students enrolled in any Athabasca University course are considered to beresponsible scholars, and are therefore expected to adhere rigorously to theprinciples of intellectual honesty.

Plagiarism is a form of intellectual dishonesty in which anothers work ispresented as ones own, and, as will any form of academic misconduct,plagiarism will be severely penalized. Depending on the circumstances,penalties may involve rejection of the submitted work; expulsion from theexamination, the course or the program; or legal action.

Students sometimes commit plagiarism inadvertently. To avoid doing so,make certain that you acknowledge all your sourcesboth primary andsecondaryin a full and consistent manner. All direct quotes (quotations,however short, from an original work), indirect quotes, paraphrasedpassages, ideas, images, and tabular and statistical information that you usefrom other sources (including electronic sources) must be documentedusing an acceptable citation style. There are three conventional ways ofacknowledging your sources: in-text citations, footnotes or end-notes. Weprefer that you use in-text citations, combined with a full bibliographypresented at the end of the essay. The in-text citation must give the name ofthe author, the date of publication, and the page on which the cited materialappears (Doe, 1997, p. 60). The bibliographic entry must provide at least theauthors last name, first name or initial, the date of publication, the title ofthe work, the place of publication and the publisher.


Transcripts

A student can request an official transcript by completing a paperTranscript Request form, by writing to the Office of the Registrar, byappearing at the Office of the Registrar in person, or by using the secureonline request form. For instructions on making an online request, see

http://www.athabascau.ca/registrar/OROShelp.php?page=transcriptRequest

Only the student whose transcript is being issued may make the request,and a paper request must bear the students signature.

No partial transcripts are issued. The students entire record is shown oneach transcript.

Most institutions and agencies require that official transcripts be sentdirectly from Athabasca University. Please allow a minimum of ten workingdays for the receipt of a transcript. Consult the current edition of theAthabasca University Calendar for further information about transcripts.

Transferring Credit

If you wish to transfer credit to another institution, contact the Office of theRegistrar at Athabasca University. Remember, however, that transfer ofcredit is determined by the receiving institution. If you plan to transfer creditfor this course to another institution, we suggest you get an agreement, inwriting, from that institution. This agreement is usually called a letter ofpermission.

Applying for Extensions

If you are unable to complete this course within the six-month coursecontract period, you may apply for and purchase up to three, two-monthextensions. Note that extension request forms must be received by theOffice of the Registrar a minimum of one month before the end of yourcourse contract. Requests for second and third extensions must be receivedby the Office of the Registrar a minimum of one month before the expiry ofthe previous extension. Consult the online Athabasca University Calendar formore information about obtaining extensions.
