CHEM 3460 - Organic Chemistry II

Goals: To further develop the theoretical concepts of organic chemistry and develop plausible synthetic and mechanistic pathways.

Content: Additional coverage of organic reactions including mechanisms associated with elimination, electrophilic substitution, electrophilic addition, free radical reactions, and pericyclic reactions. Chemistries of alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, pericyclic compounds, polymers, proteins and carbohydrates including reactions of intermediary metabolism. Spectroscopy (NMR) is emphasized.

Taught: Annually, spring
