CHEM 321 - Organic Chemistry I


Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

The first semester of a two-semester sequence in the study of the structure (electronic and geometric), properties, and reactions of compounds of carbon. Topics include the structure and physical properties of organic compounds, stereochemistry, reactions and their mechanisms, and structure-reactivity relationships. Lab experiments emphasize lecture concepts while introducing methods in organic synthesis and illustrating techniques such as crystallization, distillation, chromatography, and spectroscopic methods of compound characterization (with emphasis on nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy).

Offered Fall

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 121 with a minimum grade of C or consent of instructor.
