Course Description Aromatic Substitution Reactions:

Mechanisms of aromatic electrophilic/nucleophilic
substitutions reactions and effect of substituents on
orientation and reactivity.

Oxidation-reductions Reactions:
Common oxidizing and reducing reagents, reactions
involving elimination of H, cleavage of C-C bond,
replacement of hydrogen by oxygen, and addition of
oxygen to substrates, reaction involving replacement of
oxygen by hydrogen, removal of oxygen from the
substrates and reduction with cleavage.

Pericyclic Reactions:
Introduction to pericyclic reactions, frontier orbital theory,
mechanisms of electrocyclic, cycloaddition and sigmatropic
reactions.

Attendance policy A minimum of 70% attendance is required for a student to
be eligible to take the final examination. A student having less
than 70% attendance in a course shall be given SA (short attendance)
grade and shall not be allowed to sit in Final Exams (Mid Term) and will
be reappear in the course to get required attendance to be eligible to sit in
the exam when the course is offered the next time
Grading The course will be evaluated on the basis of the following
percentage;
➢ Mid Term 25%
➢ Sessional work 25%
❖ Presentaion/Practicals 5%
❖ Assignmnets/Practicals 5%
❖ Quizes 15%
➢ Final Term 50%
