CHEM 212 - Organic Chemistry II

3 credits
Second semester of a two-semester course designed to provide foundation in the fundamental principles and basic reactions of organic chemistry. Increasingly complex compounds like alcohols, amines, substituted aromatic compounds, carboxylic acids, and carboxylic acid derivatives are used to provide heightened emphasis on reaction mechanisms and synthetic strategies. Structural elucidation techniques (1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and MS) are introduced and are used to identify organic compounds. 3 lecture periods. A one-credit laboratory class (CHEM 214) is also required to complete the organic chemistry requirement.

Prerequisite(s): No grade lower than C- in CHEM 211.
Corequisite(s): None.
