Description
A continuation of CHE 210 - Organic Chemistry I, this course involves the study of the properties, characteristics, and reaction mechanisms of carbonyl-containing compounds, alcohols, ethers, alkyl halides, amines, phenols, carbohydrates, and proteins. Emphasis is placed on the identification of organic compounds using instrumental techniques such as IR, NMR, UV, and chromatography. Laboratory work includes methods of synthesis, isolation, purification, identification of organic compounds, and proper documentation of data. This course is recommended for science majors.
