Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry

Undergraduate

This course is for students who want to take only one organic chemistry course in their studies and covers the very essentials of what is taught in CHEM-2300, CHEM-2310, and CHEM-3310. It gives a general introduction to organic chemistry, with emphasis on molecular structure, stereochemistry, intermolecular interactions, physical properties of organic compounds, and the chemistry of important 559 Winter 2027 Undergraduate Calendar functional groups (halides, alcohols, thiols, amines, carboxylic acids, esters, amides and aromatic compounds). The course functions as a prerequisite for BIOC-2010 (Organic Chemistry of Biomolecules) but not CHEM-2310 (Introductory Organic Chemistry II). High scoring students may be admitted into CHEM-2310 by the consent of the instructor. (Prerequisites: CHEM-1110 or CHEM-1103.) (Credit may be obtained for only one of CHEM-2300, CHEM-2305, and CHEM-2325.) (3 lecture hours a week.) (Not available for credit to students majoring in Honours Chemistry and Biochemistry programs.)
