JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives

This subject deals with general methods of preparation and reactions of

some organic compounds. Reactivity of organic compounds are also studied here. The syllabus emphasizes on mechanisms and orientation of reactions. Chemistry of fats and oils are also included in the syllabus.

Course Outcomes

Upon completion of the course the student shall be able to

• write the structure, name and the type of isomerism of the organic compound
• write the reaction, name the reaction and orientation of reactions
• account for reactivity/stability of compounds,
• prepare organic compounds
