CHEM 3420 - Organic Chemistry II

UG
Credit Hours: 4

A continuation of CHEM 3410. Chemistry and Biochemistry majors are strongly encouraged to take CHEM 3420 concurrently with CHEM 2430. This course is focused on the study of aliphatic and aromatic organic chemistry and emphasizes conjugated and aromatic compounds, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines, and macromolecules, such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Selected topics are incorporated into experiments in the laboratory to aid in understanding the mechanisms of organic reactions, followed by IR and NMR spectroscopic analysis of the desired product.

Prerequisites: CHEM 3410.
Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 3

When Offered: Spring
Note: Concurrent enrollment in lab CHEM 3420L required.
