CHE 320 - Organic Chemistry II

Institution:

CUNY Hostos Community College

Subject:

Description:

3 credits, 3-hrs. lecture/1-hr. recitation Pre-requisites: CHE 310 and CHE 312 or CHE 314 Co-requisite: CHE 322 or CHE 324 The objective of this course is to give students of chemical, physical sciences and molecular biological sciences a complete and in-depth understanding of organic chemistry. The chemistry of the remaining functional groups not covered in CHE 310 will be discussed including nomenclature, stereosomerism, and stereoseletivity of reactions. Organic functional groups will be introduced and discussed in detail. Problem solving will be used to give the student a working understanding of multistep reaction mechanisms, modern reagents used for organic synthesis, and synthetic strategy. Polyfunctional compounds and interactions between functional groups will also be covered, as well as applications of organic chemistry in biochemistry, biotechnology, and materials science. Modern organic analytical methods, such as mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance will be covered in detail.
