CHE 201 - Organic Chemistry II
The study of organic compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen. The structure stereochemistry, reactions, and multistep synthesis of organic nitrogen and oxygen will be studied. Syntheses and instrumental analysis (IR and NMR) will be emphasized in the laboratory.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
- Analyze organic compounds using spectroscopy.
- Explain elimination and substitution reactions.
- Describe the physical properties, stereochemistry, preparation, reactions and multistep synthesis of organic oxygen and nitrogen compounds.
- Describe the general characteristics of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.
- Prepare compounds using complex syntheses.
- Demonstrate a knowledge of scientific references and an ability to search the scientific literature.
Prerequisite: Organic Chemistry I (CHE 200).
