A continuation of CH330, Organic Chemistry I. The study of the structure, nomenclature, properties, and reactivity of ethers, epoxides, arenes, ketones, aldehydes, amines, carboxylic acids and derivatives, etc. Associated topics include reaction mechanisms, conjugated pi systems, aromaticity, molecular orbitals, polymers, an introduction to biomolecules/biochemistry, and methods of spectroscopic characterization. The laboratory includes techniques in the synthesis and purification of organic compounds, characterization by spectroscopy (FTIR, NMR, MS), and basics of peptide synthesis.
A continuation of CH331.This is continuation of CH330. Students learn about the reactions of the functional groups. This includes predicting the products which will result from a particular set of reactants. In addition, students learn how to use reaction mechanisms to predict not only the products obtained but the quantity of each product.Prerequisite Courses
