CHEM 281 — Organic Chemistry I
An introduction to general principles of organic chemistry covering the structures, properties and reactivity of organic compounds. Emphasis is onvmolecular orbital theory, functional group reactivity, nomenclature, substitutionvand elimination mechanisms, sterochemistry, chemical equilibria and spectroscopy. Laboratory techniques include isolation, purification, synthetic procedures and spectroscopy. This is the first semester of a two semester sequence. (UC credit limitation). C-ID CHEM 150.
