CHY 242 - Organic Chemistry II

Continuation of a systematic presentation of the structure, properties, and reactions of the principal classes of carbon compounds, based on modern views of chemical bonding, thermodynamics, and kinetics. Mechanistic, synthetic, and biological aspects of organic reactions are examined. The laboratory reinforces techniques of preparation, separation, purification, and identification of organic compounds, including spectroscopy, and introduces students to the methodology of reactions and the synthesis of compounds. Course Typically Offered: Every spring.

Prerequisite(s): CHY 141/CHY 142 and CHY 241.
