CHM 221 Organic Chemistry I
This is the first course in a two-semester sequence. Topics in this course include nomenclature, structure, physical and chemical properties, synthesis and typical reactions for aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic compounds with special emphasis on reaction of mechanisms, spectroscopy, and stereochemistry. Laboratory is required and will include the synthesis and confirmation of representative organic compounds with emphasis on basic techniques. Students must register for CHM 221L as part of this course.
