CHM 234 Organic Chemistry I

Fall/Spring

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. Prerequisite: Either CHM 136 and CHM 137, or CHM 146 and CHM 147 with a grade of 2.0 or higher. Corequisite: CHM 235.
