CHM 221: Organic Chemistry I


Goal: To examine the structure and the physical and chemical properties of carbon-based compounds and their derivatives. To understand mechanisms of organic reactions. To encourage critical thinking, logical derivation, and creativity, using organic synthesis as a vehicle. To apply laboratory techniques used in determining structures of organic molecules.
Content: An introduction to the chemistry of carbon compounds including their structures, physical and spectral properties, chemical reactivity, and synthesis. Laboratory work includes the isolation, purification, and identification used in determination of structures of organic molecules, as well as determination of physical and spectral properties.
Prerequisite(s): CHM 102 ; CHM 221 for CHM 222 .
Credit: 4
Degree Level: Undergraduate
