CHM 234/235 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. 3 lecture hours and 1 three-hour lab. Prerequisite: Either CHM 136/137 or CHM 146/147 with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
