CHM223

This course presents the fundamental principles of organic chemistry with an emphasis on the syntheses, reactions, mechanisms, structures and identification of organic compounds. Topics include nomenclature, instrumental analyses, aromatic compounds, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, aldehydes, ketones, condensation reactions, amines, and an introduction to biochemical molecules. Laboratory includes preparation and separation of organic compounds, analyses of properties and identification of organic compounds. This course is the second semester of a two semester organic chemistry sequence (CHM 222 followed by CHM 223) and is intended for chemistry majors and students seeking careers in other sciences and pre-professional medical-related fields.
