Introductory Organic Chemistry: Reactivity of Functional Groups and Spectroscopy

3 credits · Undergraduate

Building on CHEM2401 the properties and reactions of alcohols, ethers, amines, nitriles, carbonyls and aromatic compounds are examined. The reactions are used in synthetic sequences, and reaction mechanisms are stressed. Spectroscopic methods (MS, IR, 1H and 13C NMR) are introduced and used to determine the structures of organic compounds. PREREQUISITES: CHEM 2401.03 (grade of C+ or better) FORMATS: Lecture | Lab
