Learning Hours: 108 (36 Lecture, 72 Private Study)
Offering Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Identify the specific role of a catalyst in a transformation and thereby predict the outcome of the combination of one or more catalyst.
- Draw complete catalytic cycle for important reactions having been able to decipher the appropriate mechanism.
- Rationalize the outcome of a particular reaction in the context of chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity based on the catalyst combination.
- Develop proficiency at reading and searching the primary chemical literature and using relevant search engines, Google Scholar, SciFinder, etc.
- Identify potential problems with specific catalytic combinations.
