Organic Chemistry II with Laboratory

Catalog description

Upon completion of this course. students will: (1) effectively and clearly communicate principles of organic chemistry in written and oral form, (2) detail reaction mechanisms not addressed in Organic Chemistry I,(3) describe bonding, stereochemistry and 3-dimensional arrangement of atoms in organic molecules not described in Organic Chemistry I and apply them to nomenclature and molecular function, (4) design multi-step preparative synthesis of organic molecules by applying reaction mechanisms, (5) evaluate and extrapolate information from reference literature for application in organic synthesis, (6) apply spectroscopic analysis techniques to elucidate chemical structure, and (7) collect, present and analyze scientific data from a series of organic chemistry techniques and laboratory experiments.
