CHEM 2440 - Organic Chemistry II

Credits: 4
This is the second-semester course of a two-semester organic chemistry sequence. Students name and write structures and reaction products for alkenes & alkynes; write the products of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions; write structures and reaction products for carbonyl compounds, alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acids and their derivatives (amines, some simple sugars, amino acids, and nucleic acids); and prepare and characterize a number of molecules containing a variety of functional groups (ketones, alcohols, amides, carboxylic acids, and esters).

Prerequisite: Completion of CHEM 2420.
