Abstract & Overview
Fundamental organic chemistry is a compulsory course for college students major in chemistry.It is very difficult for teachers attracting students' attention for long term study on the basis of the current teaching system.We introduce scientific research achievements, frontier knowledges and hot research topics into this lesson.Students' study interests are inspired dramatically.In detail, four types of organic reactions, namely Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, hydrolysis reaction, Friedel-Crafts acylation, and Knoevenagel condensation are illustrated, including their reaction mechanisms and reaction conditions.Then the common purification approaches and characterization methods are also presented.Considering the significance of H-NMR in scientific research, it is emphasized, which is also an important knowledge point in the text book.Synthesis, purification and characterization are three key elements of organic chemistry, which are systematically combined and used in the teaching process.We believe the way presented in the article can also favor other teachers achieving the positive teaching effects.
