    Description
    This is the first part of a two-course sequence presenting the structure, equilibrium, nomenclature including conformational analysis, potential energy plots, hybridization, stereochemistry, preparation and mechanisms of reactions of aliphatic hydrocarbons and related functionalites. A mechanistic approach to reactions and a focus on multi-step synthesis is emphasized throughout the course. The laboratory presents the techniques of preparation, isolation, and analysis of organic compounds employing standard and modern instrumental methods.
