Wenzel Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds, which are ubiquitous to everyday life. From pharmaceuticals to plastics, the structure of an organic molecule determines its function. This course is designed to introduce students to advanced topics in the field of organic chemistry. Topics covered will expand upon material covered in the Chemistry 116/117 organic sequence, with particular emphasis on stereoelectronic effects in organic reaction mechanisms. Prerequisites: Chemistry 117, or permission of instructor. Enrollment limited to 24. Offered every other year.
