Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course students will be able to:
- Describe the chemistry of important classes of antibacterial agents and the basic principles of drug design.
-understand how the chemistry of metal complexes may be used and adapted to provide mechanisms for catalytic transformations.
- Show proficiency in the quantitative analysis of kinetic data and the ability to relate a theoretical reaction mechanism to an experimentally determined rate law.
- Understand the physical methods available for probing organic reaction mechanisms and how these may be used in the elucidation of some fundamental reactions mechanisms.
- Predict the structure and reactivity of simple organometallic complexes.
- Suggest syntheses of simple organic molecules from readily available starting materials using retrosynthetic analysis.
