CHM - 263 Organic Chemistry I

(5 s.h.)

Prerequisite: CHM - 176 General Chemistry II.
This course will enable the student to apply the basic principles, laws and theories of organic chemistry, with an emphasis on modern spectroscopy, including UV, IR, MS, ¹H, ¹³C and DEPT NMR, as well as mechanisms of reactions and bonding of organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and alcohols. This is designed for students of chemistry, biological science, pre-pharmacy, pre-veterinary, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry and medical technology. The student will also apply the scientific method in the laboratory to stress the nature of scientific thinking, experimentation, data collection and analysis, and problem solving with more advanced organic laboratory techniques with an emphasis on the basic techniques for the preparation, separation, and purification of organic compounds. This course includes three hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week.
