    Description
    <b><font color="7A0018">Begins Fall 2025</b></font><br> This course is a study of the theory and practice of organic chemistry examining the bonding, structure, stereochemistry, nomenclature, properties, and reactions of hydrocarbons and organic halides. Addition, substitution, elimination, and rearrangement reactions are examined. Corresponding mechanisms and energy diagrams are included in the study. Nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, ultra-violet and mass spectroscopy are introduced as structural elucidation techniques.
