This course is a continuation of Organic Chemistry I (CHEM 201). A study of the chemistry of several relevant functional groups and biomolecules. The study of reaction mechanisms and the examination of intermediates, such as carbocations, is used extensively in order to explain reactivities. The laboratory section of the course provides hands-on training in organic synthesis and reinforces the use of modern spectroscopic analyses for structure determination.
Prerequisites
CHEM 201 with a minimum grade of “C”
