CHEM211 Organic Chemistry I
This course utilizes an integrated approach to convey the theory and application of organic chemistry. The functional groups studied include aliphatic hydrocarbons, alkyl halides, alcohols and ethers. Emphasis is placed on structure, molecular properties, conformational analysis, stereochemistry, reactions and their mechanisms. Problem solving and experiential learning are used to illustrate and reinforce these principles and critical thinking skills. Techniques such as chromatography, distillation, recrystallizaton, synthesis, extraction, etc. will be used to support these studies. Class meets 6 hours per week for lecture/lab in the fall semester. Prerequisite: Chemistry 153.
