CH 241 - Organic Chemistry

Institution:

Lane Community College

Subject:

Description:

5 credits Prerequisite: Grade of 'C-' or better in CH 222 This three-term sequence is intended for science majors and health science students. It is a systematic coverage of aliphatic and aromatic chemistry. A survey of selected biologically important compounds is included during part of CH 243. There are three main areas of study.1) Structure determination by use of spectroscopic data and characteristic reactions of functional groups. 2) Reaction mechanisms, wherein reaction feasibility and rates are related to molecular structure. 3) Synthetic sequences in which complex molecules are built up from simple precursors. Labs are designed to acquaint the student with typical organic preparative procedures. Most of the compounds prepared in lab are analyzed by infrared spectroscopy. The low student/instructor ratio in lab allows considerable personal assistance. CH 241 is the first course in a three term sequence designed for science and health science majors. This course is designed to introduce students to organic functional groups with an emphasis on hydrocarbons and their reactions. Topics will also include bonding theory, nomenclature, and spectroscopy. Considerable time is spent on the fundamentals of reaction mechanisms. The laboratory introduces organic synthesis techniques and products are analyzed using various techniques.
