CHEM-2460 Organic Chemistry II
Continuation of CHEM-2450. Functional group studies are continued with increased emphasis on spectroscopic analysis. The course concludes with a study of major biological chemicals: carbohydrates, amino acids and peptides, lipids and nucleic acids. A course project requiring development and defense of a synthetic scheme for a common organic compound is incorporated as a major project. The laboratory emphasizes organic synthetic reactions including multi-step synthesis. Lab fee required.
