CHE-314: Organic Chemistry II

Second semester Organic Chemistry designed for students majoring in science and for students planning professional school studies in the health and life sciences. The study of organic chemistry is expanded to include aromatic compounds, organometallic compounds, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, enolates, amines, amino acids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Concepts of biochemistry are discussed in the context of organic chemistry principles. Discussion of these major classes of molecules include nomenclature, structure and stereochemistry, physical properties, reactions, mechanisms, and spectroscopy. Four hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in CHE 313.
