| CHEM 207 - Organic Chemistry I |
|
An in-depth course which covers structure, properties, preparation, and reactions of the principal classes of organic compounds. The chemistry of aliphatic hydrocarbons, alkenes, alkynes, and alkyl halides is introduced. Substitution, elimination, and addition reactions are covered in detail, with an emphasis on reaction mechanisms. Laboratory introduces the standard techniques (distillation and reflux, crystallization and melting points, extraction, column and gas chromatography, IR spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry) used for the synthesis, purification and identification of organic compounds and illustrates some typical reactions of alkanes, alkenes and alcohols. Laboratory (4 hours).
Prerequisite: Completion of CHEM 108 Principles of Chemistry and Quantitative Analysis with a minimum grade of C- (1.70).
