CHM - 273 Organic Chemistry II

(5 s.h.)

Prerequisite: CHM - 263 Organic Chemistry I.
This course is the second half of a two-semester sequence of organic chemistry, with an emphasis on the basic principles, laws and theories of organic chemistry, with an emphasis on modern spectroscopy, including UV, IR, MS, ¹H, ¹³C and DEPT NMR, and reaction mechanisms of aromatic compounds, ketones, aldehydes, enols and carboxylic acids and its derivatives, as well as the application of organic chemistry towards biological systems. 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 handling, 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, as well as the application of modern spectroscopic methods for determining the structure and purity of organic compounds. This course includes three hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week.
