| Term: Fall Semester 2023 |
| Description: This course introduces the core principles of the language of organic chemistry and extends their use to the description of the behavior and reactivity of carbonyl containing functional groups. Topics include representation and naming, the use of various spectroscopic approaches to probe molecular structure, an overview of bonding models and molecular geometry, the development of mechanistic drawing, and the application of this mechanistic approach to the reactions of a wide range of carbonyl compounds. The accompanying laboratory course emphasizes the connections between the observable behavior of organic substances and their molecular structures. The laboratory curriculum introduces the essential techniques of preparation, purification, and spectroscopic analysis of organic compounds, with emphasis on both physical manipulations and their underlying chemical rationale. |
