CH 302 Organic Chemistry II

This course is the second part of a two-semester sequence intended to provide a comprehensive study of the chemistry of carbon-containing (organic) compounds. The reactivity of the following functional groups will be covered in detail: alcohols, ethers, epoxides, sulfides, conjugated systems, aromatics, ketones, aldehydes, amines, carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives. In addition, students will be exposed to acid/base theory, chemical bonding models, thermodynamics, and kinetics as these topics apply to the study of organic compounds. The main of objective of this course is for students to gain a working knowledge of the aforementioned concepts in order to solve problems in organic chemistry.
