CHEM 2317 — Organic Chemistry 2 for Chemistry Majors
4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureNUpath EIusually offered: falltypical days: M/W/ThBostonTraditional
Continues CHEM 2315. Extends the study of functional groups commonly found in organic compounds, further emphasizing conceptual mastery of the relationship between structure and reactivity. Introduces structural identification of organic compounds using contemporary spectroscopic methods such as IR, MS, and NMR. Other topics include structure and reactivity of conjugated and aromatic systems, the chemistry of ethers and epoxides, and the chemistry of carbonyl-containing compounds including aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and carboxylic acid derivatives. Offers students an opportunity to develop skills in planning multistep syntheses using the retrosynthesis approach and proposing mechanisms for chemical transformations.
