CHEM 202/202L Organic Chemistry II

This course is designed for science majors and pre-professional students. This course will enable students to answer questions and solve problems involving aromatic compounds and their derivatives, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, enols and enolates, condensation and conjugate addition reactions of carbonyl compounds, amines, phenols, aryl halides, carbohydrates, fats, amino acids, and proteins. A great deal of emphasis will be placed on multi-step synthesis of complex organic molecules. In the laboratory, students will acquire skills in laboratory techniques, prepare organic compounds, study their properties, and interpret data collected to identify unknowns.
