CH 202 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II w/LAB



Organic Chemistry II is the second semester of a two-semester science majors level course on the facts and principles of chemistry as they apply to carbon-based compounds. The course has a mandatory lab that complements the lecture. Typical majors taking this course include biotechnology and life science. Topics include re-emphasis of lab safety; synthetic techniques; spectroscopy; patterns in the nomenclature, structure, physical properties, spectra; reactivity, stability, stereochemistry and chemical reactions of conjugated systems, benzene and its derivatives, aromatic systems, ethers, carbonyls, amines, carboxylic acids, esters, amides; acid chlorides; anhydrides; nitriles, enols, steroids, lipids, carbohydrates and amino acids; applying the principles of thermodynamics, kinetics and reaction mechanisms to the substitution, addition, redox, condensation and elimination reactions of these compounds. Math skills of at least a one-hundred-level MA course are required. Prerequisite: CH110, CH 120, CH 201, and, a one-hundred-level MA course or higher (not MAC) Lecture: 3 hours per week Lab: 3 hours per week 4 credits 4 Credits Prerequisite: CH110, CH 120, CH 201, and, a one-hundred-level MA course or higher (not MAC)
