Overview
LIMITED ENROLLMENT.
3 classroom contact hours/week 3 lab hours/week 1 hour lab lecture/week
A continuation of CHE 210 with focus on complex chemical reactions and syntheses utilizing fundamental principles. The study of mechanistic functional group chemistry will be a primary focus. Second semester laboratory extends previously learned macro- and micro-scale techniques to more complex systems and explores chemistry discussed in the lecture portion of the course. In addition, modern analytical techniques (e.g. nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry) used in the identification of organic compounds will be discussed. In English.
Prerequisite: CHEM 210E

Teaching Strategies
Rather than teaching/learning a plethora of reactions and molecules to memorize, the course focuses on gaining a fundamental understanding of Organic Chemistry.That way, you will retain the material long after the course is completed (and will be able to apply it to your chosen field of study!) and you will develop your critical thinking skills. Unfortunately, there will be some things that you just need to memorize – there is no way around it. But this will be kept to a minimum and we strongly discourage you from trying to memorize everything that we will cover in class – it will be both overwhelming and unproductive. Instead, we hope that by taking the assignments seriously, completing the in-chapter practice problems and using your dictionary as suggested, you will join us in thinking like an Organic Chemist and gain an appreciation for the subject.
