Advanced Organic Chemistry (I)

Credits: 3

Lecturers:

Dr. Luo, Feng-Tair 羅芬台
Dr. Lin, Chih-Hsiu 林質修

Introduction:

This course will introduce the basic concepts and models used to understand the structure and property of organic compounds. The application of these concepts to rationalize various types of organic reactions will be illustrated.
