CHEM2225 – Organic Chemistry II pdf

Credits: 5 (4/1/0)
Description: Meets MnTC Goal Areas 2 and 3. This course is the second course of a two-course series (CHEM2224 and CHEM2225). Students will learn the reactions and characteristics of various organic chemistry groups. The following topics will be included: aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, amides, phenols, carbanions, esters, aromatics, heterocyclic compounds, macromolecules and the possible addition of selected topics such as carbohydrates, fats, amino acids and proteins. The course includes a lab which will include purification, synthesis, and characterization of organic compounds and the study of organic reactions. Green chemistry techniques will be practiced whenever possible.
