About this course
This course covers the molecular structure and reactivity of organic compounds based on their functional groups. The course provides an introduction to nomenclature, three dimensional structure and physical properties of organic compounds as well as reaction mechanisms and infrared spectroscopy. Although most organic functional groups are discussed, the focus is on the chemistry of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and alkyl halides. Mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions of alkyl halides are discussed.
Prerequisites: Minimum grade of C- in either CHEM 102 or CHME 105 .
