CHEM 2300 - Introductory Organic Chemistry

Credits: 4
This is a one-semester course in organic and beginning biological chemistry with no lab component. Students discuss bonding within molecules; name and draw structures of organic molecules; predict products for reactions of various functional groups, including hydrocarbons, halocarbons, alcohols, carbonyls, and amines; identify and draw stereoisomers; use spectroscopy data to identify molecules; and understand the biological/industrial significance of molecules such as heterocycles, polymers, lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and nucleotides.

Prerequisite: Completion of CHEM 1000 or CHEM 1020.
