This constitutes the second part of a two-course sequence and continues and completes the study of organic compounds initiated in Chemistry 211. It presents the nomenclature, structure, stereochemistry, reactions, synthesis, and their mech- anisms of aromatics, amines and carbonyl-containing compounds. From the onset of the course, a multi-step synthetic approach ensures the review and incorpora- tion of all previously studied classes of organic compounds. The end of the course employs the principles learned within a biochemistry framework involving the study of biomolecules, natural and synthetic polymers. The hands-on laboratory presents more techniques of preparation, isolation and analysis of organic com- pounds employing modern instrumental analysis. The laboratory focuses on the preparation and isolation of natural organic compounds, employing the pri- or-learned standard techniques, as well as the analysis of the purified products involving a variety of modern equipment and instrumentation.
