CHY 252
Approximate Lecture Schedule

Although I cannot specify day by day where I expect to be in covering the material of the text, the following Table indicates a rough intent.

Week Topic
January 21 Chapter 9; Structure of alkynes and additions to alkynes
January 27 Chapter 10; Conjugation
February 3 Chapter 11; Benzene and aromaticity
February 10 Finish Ch. 11; begin Chapter 12, electrophilic aromatic substitution
February 17 Continue Ch. 12; begin Ch. 14, Grignards and alcohol synthesis
February 24 Finish Chapter 14; begin Chapter 15, Chemistry of alcohols
March 3 Finish Chapter 15; begin Chapter 16, ethers and oxiranes
March 24 Finish Ch. 16; begin Chapter 17, nucleophilic addition to carbonyls
March 31 Chapter 17
April 7 Chapter 18; aldol and other condensations
April 14 Finish Ch. 18; Chapter 19, Carboxylic acids
April 21 More Ch. 19
April 28 Chapter 20; nucleophilic acyl substitution
May 5 Finish Ch. 20

I repeat, this is only an approximate schedule. I tend to speed up or slow down depending upon how well the class seems to follow along.
