Course Name: Structure, Stereochemistry and Reactivity of Organic Compounds and Intermediates: A Problem-solving Approach

Course abstract

Organic chemistry has been synonymous with Chemistry of Carbon Compounds (other than simple salts, oxides and carbides). Besides carbon, organic compounds are mainly made of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous and smaller amounts of a few other elements and are thus distinct from other materials. Most of the mass in living things is made up of organic compounds. The purpose of this course entitled Structure, Stereochemistry and Reactivity of Organic Compounds and Intermediates: A Problem-solving Approach is to provide a solid foundation on organic chemistry through a problem solving technique which centers on structure, stereochemistry and a mechanistic approach.

Prof. Amit Basak

Prof. Amit Basak offering this course at the first year PG level at IIT Kharagpur for many years. Before that, I had taught UG students of Presidency College (now University) for more than 10 years. Due to my interaction with Sir Prof J. E. Baldwin (my PhD supervisor at Oxford), an extraordinary chemical biologist and Prof S. K. Talapatra (PhD supervisor), renowned stereo chemists, my interest in teaching subjects at the interface of chemistry and biology PG level grew immensely.
