Institution:

Kapiolani Community College

Subject:

Description:

5 hours lecture/lab per week Prerequisite(s): CHEM 162; credit or concurrent enrollment in CHEM 272. CHEM 272L is a comprehensive introduction to laboratory principles of organic chemistry including molecular structure, nomenclature, stereochemistry, spectroscopy, reactions and reaction mechanisms, synthesis, and applications to biology. This course is intended for science majors. Upon successful completion of CHEM 272L, the student should be able to: Describe the nature of bonding and structure. Describe the physical properties associated with molecular structure. Give common and IUPAC names for the various organic compounds studied in the first semester. Give complete structures from the names. Draw stereochemical structures and understand how stereochemistry affects physical and chemical properties. Determine the structure of compounds from experimental data including the various spectroscopic techniques. Describe how functional group structure determines chemical reactivity. Determine the mechanism of a reaction based upon the structure of the functional group. Give the types of reactions possible for each functional group and be able to draw all possible products of a reaction. Determine what starting materials are necessary to synthesize a particular compound. Cite examples of organic mechanisms in biology.
