CHEM-2450 Organic Chemistry I
Organic Chemistry is a study of carbon-based compounds. Structures, properties, nomenclature and spectroscopy are studied along with reactions of organic compounds. Reactions are systematically studied based on relation to functional group while mechanisms are extensively used to explain and predict product formation. Spectroscopic methods are introduced. The laboratory develops basic techniques used in organic chemistry and is integrated with presentation of chemical reactions and properties covered in lecture. Lab fee required.
