    This 3-page document provides the course outline for SCH 230 The Chemistry of Carbonyl Compounds at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. The course will cover the nomenclature, properties, structures, preparations, uses, reactions, and reaction mechanisms of various carbonyl compounds including carboxylic acids and derivatives, nitriles, imines, thioethers, thiols, thiocarbonyls, and keto-enol tautomerism. Students will also learn about epoxides and organometallic compounds containing silicon and phosphorus. The aims are for students to understand carbonyl compound reactions and mechanisms, keto-enol tautomerism, and organome
