CHEM 0305W: Organic II: Synthesis & Spect.
Organic II Synthesis&Spect Lab
Organic Chemistry II: Synthesis and Spectroscopy
In this course students will explore how organic molecules are made and their structures are identified. The study of organic reactions will continue from CHEM 0205 with radical reactions, alkene and alkyne additions, aromatic reactions, oxidations, reductions, and additional carbonyl reactions. Emphasis will be placed on using reactions in sequences to synthesize larger and more complex molecules. The theory and practice of mass spectrometry and UV-Vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy will be studied as a means to elucidate the exact structures of organic molecules. Laboratory experiments will focus on synthetic techniques that complement the lecture material and the identification of complex unknowns via spectrometry and spectroscopic techniques. (CHEM 0203 or CHEM 0205) 3 hrs. lect., 3 hrs. lab. (formerly CHEM 0204)
