Obligātā kulinārijas izglītība

Laime pilnīga!

Šonedēļ sākas coursera.org astoņu nedēļu kurss par lietām, kas būtu jāzina katram kulināram: Introductory Organic Chemistry – Part I. Spriežot pēc lekciju plāna, var sagaidīt reālu, ticamu informāciju. To nav nemaz tik viegli atrast visādas nejēdzīgas Interneta beletristikas (lasīt – slima suņa murgu) plūdos, kur ļaudis “spriež” par glutēna kaitīgumu vai to, ka tagad jāēd sārmains ēdiens.

Module Key Concepts
Week 1: The Building Blocks of Organic Chemistry
  • Period 2 Elements
  • Formal Charge
  • Stability Trends
  • Bonding Patterns
  • Functional Groups
Week 2: The Language of Organic Chemistry
  • Basic Organic Nomenclature
  • Molecular Symmetry
  • Chirality
  • Stereochemical Descriptors
  • Representations of 3-Dimensional Structures
Week 3: Electrons in Molecules
  • Resonance
  • Wave Properties of Electrons
  • Atomic Orbitals
  • Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals
Week 4: Molecular Orbital Theory
  • Constructing Simple MO Diagrams
  • Inferring Reactivity From MO Diagrams
  • The Hybrid Orbital Approximation
  • Frontier Orbital Theory
Week 5: Molecules in Motion
  • Conformations of Linear Molecules
  • Stability of Cyclic Molecules
  • Conformations of Cyclohexanes
  • Coordinate Diagrams
Week 6: Understanding Reactivity
  • Bond Energy Changes
  • Transition States
  • Nucleophiles and Electrophiles
  • Acid-Base Equilibria
Week 7: Organic Reactions, Part I
  • Substitution Reactions

  • Discriminating Related Reaction Mechanisms
Week 8: Organic Reactions, Part II
  • Stereospecificity of Substitution and Elimination Reaction Mechanisms
  • Carbocation Rearrangements
  • Activated C-O Electrophiles
  • Carbon-Based Nucleophiles

Kas var būt labāks par šo? Varbūt vienīgi Introductory Organic Chemistry – Part 2. Vēl jau viņiem ir plānos arī Intermediate Organic Chemistry kurss, bet iesākumam būtu labi tikt galā vismaz ar ievadlīmeni.
