    Description
    This course is a continuation of CHEM-226. Topics include spectroscopy, additional reaction mechanisms, the nomenclature, physical properties, and reactions of other basic classes of compounds (aromatics, organometallics, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, and amines). The nature and reactions of multifunctional compounds and the structure and reactions of biochemical molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids) are also discussed. Laboratory work includes hands-on spectroscopic techniques (i.e. NMR, IR), organic instrumental analysis, more advanced projects involving synthesis, and a literature research project using university-level chemical literature resources.
