CHE205 — Organic Chemistry I
Study of carbon compounds with emphasis on structure, nomenclature, conformation, stereochemistry, synthetic methods and spectroscopy. Chemical reaction mechanisms are stressed throughout. Course is an integrated treatment of aliphatic and aromatic chemistry. Laboratory work emphasizes separation, purification, kinetic studies and identification of organic compounds stressing instrumental techniques (GC, IR, UV, NMR). Microscale technique is used in the laboratory.
Prerequisites: CHE205L, CHE112
