CHEM 3450 - Organic Chemistry I (with Lab)
Goals: To develop a broad understanding of practical and theoretical concepts of organic chemistry and introduce the basic organic reaction pathways. Thermodynamic considerations of 3-dimensional molecular shape are discussed. Instrumental techniques for the assignment of molecular structure are a focus. Modern mechanistic theory of organic chemical reactions is developed.
Content: Introduction to nomenclature, acid/base chemistry in context of organic chemistry, stereochemistry, and an overview of reaction types including substitution, addition, elimination and rearrangement. Some spectroscopy (IR, MS) is also covered.
Taught: Annually, fall
Prerequisite: CHEM 1140 or CHEM 1500 (grades of C- or better) or instructor permission
Note: Students must concurrently register for a lecture and a corresponding 0-credit lab section of this course.
Credits: 4
