Organic Chemistry I
Both lecture and laboratory work comprise the instruction for this course.
Lectures: A systematic view of organic chemistry from the traditional functional group approach. It provides a comprehensive background in organic chemistry as a basis for the further study of molecular processes and events in biological, environmental and industrial systems. Emphasis is on the relationship between chemical families and their interconversions. Mechanistic concepts such as acidity, basicity, and redox reactions will be used throughout to explain and predict organic and bio-organic reactions. Bio-organic and biologically significant organic chemistry is illustrated throughout.
Laboratory: Techniques in organic chemistry; and the preparation of organic and bio-organic compounds.
NOTE: Students who have obtained credit for CHEM 250 cannot take CHEM 350 for credit.
