Introduces the fundamental concepts of structure and reactivity of organic compounds. Topics covered include acid-base reactions, the chemistry of alkanes, alkyl halides, alkenes, and alkynes, as well as concepts of reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, synthesis and spectroscopic and spectrometric (IR and MS) properties of organic compounds. The course is supplemented by a weekly laboratory that affords first-hand experience at performing reactions and introduces common laboratory purification and characterization techniques. Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of "C" in either CHEM 1212K, or CHEM 1212 and CHEM 1212L.
