Topics include nomenclature, stereochemistry, mechanisms, reactions, and spectroscopic studies of organic compounds. Problem-solving techniques will be used to elucidate mechanistic, structural, and stereochemical features of reactions and molecules. Lecture and laboratory will cover synthesis, isolation, purification, elucidation, and identification of organic structures, instrumental methods and data interpretation. (C-ID CHEM 150)
