CHM 234 Organic Chemistry I

Fall-Spring Semesters

Organic Chemistry I focuses on the study of carbon compounds. An integrated study of the nomenclature, properties, stereochemistry, synthesis, and reactions of aliphatic compounds including alcohols will be presented. The relationship between structure and reactivity is developed for each class of compounds. Mechanisms are stressed. This course will also cover introductory spectroscopic analysis. 1 laboratory period (CHM235). 3 class periods. Prerequisite: Either CHM 136 or CHM 146 with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
