CHEM 212 – Organic Chemistry II
Second semester of a two-semester course designed to provide a sound foundation in the fundamental principles and basic reactions of organic chemistry. Increasingly complex compounds like alcohols, amines, substituted aromatic compounds, carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives are used to provide a heightened emphasis on reaction mechanisms and synthetic strategies. Prerequisite: No grade lower than C- in CHEM 211. This course consists of three 1-hour lecture periods per week. A one-credit laboratory class (CHEM 214) is also required to complete the organic chemistry sequence. 3 credits.
CHEM 214 – Organic Chemistry Laboratory II
Second semester of a two semester laboratory course designed to provide a sound foundation in the basic methods of performing organic chemical reactions. The course introduces glassware and reaction techniques used in synthetic organic chemistry. The course further illustrates methods used for monitoring chemical reactions, and for isolation and purification of reaction products. These topics will be taught within the context of a medicinal chemistry project.
