Description
This course will introduce students to modern organic theory relating structure, properties, and reaction mechanisms to the synthesis and identification of organic compounds. This course will introduce IR, MS, and NMR spectroscopy. The chemistry of aromatic compounds, ketones, aldehydes, amines, carboxylic acids, and derivatives of carboxylic acids will be studied. Students will use synthetic, separation, and characterization techniques in multi-step synthesis in the laboratory part of this course. Lecture three hours per week and laboratory one day a week for three hours.
