CH 301 Organic Chemistry I
This course is the first part of a two-semester sequence intended to provide a comprehensive study of the chemistry of carbon-containing (organic) compounds. Topics to be covered include conformational analysis, stereochemistry, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and chemical reactivity associated with the following types of organic compounds: alkanes, alkyl halides, alkenes, and alkynes. 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.
