CHEM 323 - Organic Chemistry II

4 Credit(s)

The second 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.

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 321.
