CHEM 2115 — ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I WITH LAB
Prerequisites: CHEM 1415 General Chemistry II with Lab (or equivalent) This course provides students with a study of carbon and its compounds (inclusive of major functional groups except those taught in Organic Chemistry II). The study will place emphasis on organic molecular structures and nomenclature, synthesis and other reactions, stereochemistry and reactio n mechanisms and an introduction to instrumental methods of analysis. Laboratory activities will include selected experiments involving the properties, preparation, analysis , and separation of organic compounds. Emphasis will be placed on tradition “wet” methods and an introduction to instrumental methods of analysis such as nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) and infrared spectroscopy. 3 hours lecture credit, 2 hour lab credit.
