Organic Chemistry

Catalog description

Note: CHEM 70A should be taken concurrently with CHEM 70 for science majors for transfer. <br> <br> This course covers structure, bonding, alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, stereochemistry, nomenclature, and physical properties of organic compounds. This course includes an overview of organic reactions: reactions and mechanisms of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, nucleophilic substitution, elimination, rearrangement, and addition. Science majors should take a second-semester organic course, CHEM 71, which completes the required two-semester sequence. CHEM 70A, a laboratory course, should be taken concurrently for science majors. Students are advised to check the school of transfer for their requirements. This course may be offered in a distance education format.
