CRN 50202

4.0 credit hours

The course expands upon the fundamental concepts of structure and reactivity of organic compounds introduced in CHEM 3401 to examine the synthetic, mechanistic, and spectroscopic (NMR and IR) and spectrometric (MS) aspects of arenes, alcohols, ethers, amines and carbonyl containing compounds. The course is supplemented by a weekly laboratory that affords first-hand experience at performing reactions and reinforces common laboratory purification and characterization techniques. Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of "C" in CHEM 3401.
