A systematic study of organic molecules and functional groups. Topics include nomenclature, bonding molecular structure and reactivity, reaction mechanisms and current spectroscopic techniques. Laboratory emphasis is on purification identification and elemantary synthesis. Prerequisite:234. Credits (4). Fall semester.
Areas included are completion of the systematic study of organic functional groups, hetercyclic chemistry, natural products chemistry and multi-step organic synthesis. Laboratory emphasis is on multi-step synthesis and spectroscopic analysis. Prerequisite: 235. Credits (4). Spring Semester.
