This course Topics to be discussed in this course will include the following: (a) structure, physical and chemical properties, and synthesis carboxylic acids and amines,

and their derivatives; (b) stereochemistry, and chirality of compound containing one and two asymmetric centres; (c) carbohydrates (monosaccharides - basic ideas of nomenclature),

and simple chemistry of sugars; and  (d) proteins (classification, amino acids, peptides), determination of protein structure, nucleic acids, and nucleotides and synthetic polymers.
