CHEM 2061Organic Chemistry5

In the first of a two-part sequence, students build the foundation necessary for understanding organic chemistry and for continued study in chemistry and related fields. Students examine how atomic structure and bonding give rise to the three-dimensional shapes and functions of organic compounds and the principles that explain how and why organic reactions occur. Through analysis of reaction energetics, acid–base behavior, and the mechanisms of substitution, elimination, and addition reactions, students build a conceptual framework for the chemistry of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alcohols. Offered: Fall, Spring.

CHEM 2062Organic Chemistry5

Students prepare for advanced study in chemistry, biochemistry, and related fields by deepening their understanding of structure–reactivity relationships in organic chemistry. Students study aromatic compounds, carbonyl chemistry, enols and enolate reactivity, with emphasis on reaction mechanisms and how molecular structure influences chemical behavior. Through problem solving, laboratory experimentation, and analysis of spectroscopic data, students develop skills to predict reaction outcomes, design multistep syntheses, and apply organic chemistry concepts to biochemical systems and real-world chemical processes. higher).
