By the end of the kinetic reactions of organic chemistry students should be able to:

  • Correlate between how far and how fast an organic reactions can proceed
  • define the structural  effect of organic molecules on the rates of different organic reactions
  •   Elucidate of the structure of transition states and intermediates depending on the effect of different factors such solvents (Hughes-Ingold rule),  activated collision theory, molecular orientation, and hybridization of bonds.
  •  Determine of the rate constants for the elementary steps of a given organic reaction according to the allover order of the reaction and application of the stationary state approach in order to establish the structure of transition state or intermediate.
  •   Apply the kinetics and non-kinetics isotope effects  in order to define the bond(s) that are involved in bond formation or breaking in the transition states or intermediates in the mechanisms of organic reactions.
