I love advanced Organic Chemistry!
Anyway had "Biochemistry of diseases" in the morning; Dr. Xia was done with Alzhemier's disease. It was really interesting and I actually went to zap the reference chapters from the reference book. Went for my first lecture of Ordinary Differential Equations after that (first lecture coz I've just gotten the module) and I was stunned by the first statement he made - Fundamental Theorem of Calculus! Wah, I hasn't taken any calculus course and it was "hardcore"! Following that, he showed us how to solve variable separable equations in a very fundamental way. Finally he showed us how to solve it the way I learnt in "A" level. Everything was pretty ok; the last and only Maths module that I have taken in NUS is Linear Algebra and that was 3 years ago. Looking forward to more Maths actually :p
I went to 饮茶 with Frankie, Philip, Shu Chen and Tommy at 2pm. The dim sum at 南北小厨 cost HK$8 for all items after 2pm so it's quite worth it :) After that, I went to ask Dr. Xia some questions I have on his modules and he cleared most of my doubt. Although I don't have biology background, I'm trying hard to comprehend this module; think I'm doing a pretty good job thus far :p
I had Math tutorial at 5pm but it's not worth mentioning coz it's pretty boring. Anyway dashed for Advanced Organic after that and I saw the 3 China guys discussing checking the answer to the MO diagram that Prof Wu asked us to draw last week. Hmm I did it, but in a pretty sloppy way; I thought that's pretty obvious?
Anyway, here are the topics that I'll be learning for this module:
1. Review of MO Theory
2. Conformation of simple organic molecule
3. Anomeric effect and related phenomena
4. Frontier MO theory and reactivities
5. Principles of Stereoselectivity
6.Diastereoselectivities of organic reactions
7. Radical cyclization reactions
8. Some concepts in physical organic chemistry
9. Substituent effect on bond dissociation energy
10. Pericyclic reactions
11. Mechanistic aspects of enantioselective reactions
I'll be looking forward to every lecture!
