CHM 251 - Organic Chemistry II

Institution:

Thomas University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: Agrade of "C" or better in CHM250. This is part two of a two semester course in modern organic chemistry designed primarily for science majors. The course is intended to provide the student with a comprehensive background in organic chemistry covering additional topics not addressed in CHM250. This course will emphasize additional organic groups, such as amines, aromatics, heterocyclics, organometallics, amino acids, proteins, lipids, and nucleotides. The course will address additional aspects of nomenclature, structure, bonding, stereochemistry, organic reactions and identification/structure determination by organic spectroscopic methods (IR, UV, NMRand mass spectroscopy). This course will also focus on understanding the reactivity of organic and biological molecules through a detailed description of reaction mechanisms and intermolecular bonding forces. Emphasis will be placed on the relevance of organic chemistry to biology, medicine, pharmaceuticals and nutrition. The laboratory will coordinate with class lecture to illustrate concepts and their application to everyday experiences.
