Lectures

Chemistry II (for freshmen, undergraduate, Oct – Feb)】

This class covers the first step of organic chemistry. We use “Organic Chemistry, A mechanistic approach” written by Tadashi Okuyama and Howard Maskill (published from Oxford Uniersity Press, UK) as the text book. In this term we will learn from chapter 1 to chapter 8. Although the credit for this course is not compulsory for graduation, failure of to master the class will provoke serious problem for your future learning for organic chemistry, I hope all of you will understand the contents of the class and happily pass the exam after hard learning of organic chemistry.

Organic Chemistry I (2nd year, undergraduate, Apr – Jul)】

In this class we concentrate to discuss on organic chemistry. This class covers the following contents; addition-elimination reaction for carboxylic acid derivatives, nucleophilic substitution and elimination reaction of alkyl halides, chirality and stereochemistry, electrophilic addition to alkenes, arenes including Friedel-Crafts-type substitution reaction. These material is very important to master basics of organic chemistry so we expect you will review your lesson for every time and finish your home work. We are going to check your home work and notebook as much as possible.

【Practice for Applied Chemistry I (1st year, undergraduate, Dec – Jan)】

This is a mini tutorial class for freshmen and we hope all of students obtain good understanding for organic chemistry. Details are announced in Japanese page.

【Practice for Applied Chemistry II (2nd year, undergraduate, Apr – Jul)】

This is a tutorial class and we hope all of students obtain good understanding for organic chemistry. We ask your own solution of the problems which were handed beforehand, and you will have a good discussion with your tutor. Details are announced in Japanese page.

【Practice for Applied Chemistry III (2nd year, undergraduate, Oct – Feb)】

This is a tutorial class and we hope all of students obtain good understanding for organic chemistry. We ask your own solution of the problems which were handed beforehand, and you will have a good discussion with your tutor. Details are announced in Japanese page.

Organic Reaction Chemistry (3rd year, undergraduate, Oct – Feb)】

The aim of the class is to understand organic reaction mechanism using allows that shows movement of electron pairs during the reaction. This is the best way to understand and explain organic reactions properly. In this class we will classify organic reactions by type, such as substitution, elimination, addition, rearrangement, and discuss on properties of the reaction each by each. Mastering the course will help your understanding organic reactions.
