Lecture topics include the chemistry of ethers, epoxides, conjugated dienes, aromatic compounds, carbonyl compounds, enolate condensation, amines, phenols, polymerization reactions, and selected biologically important compounds. The course also includes continued application of spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, UV-vis and MS) applied to organic chemistry. Laboratory emphasis is on the preparation, isolation, quantitation, purification, identification, and mechanism elucidation using both traditional and instrumental techniques. Students will continue to expand their ability to operate and utilize a variety of modern chemical instrumentation: Gas Chromatography, High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy.Usually HeldTue Thu 11:30am–12:50pm, Tue Thu 8:00am–11:05am, Mon Wed 11:30am–12:50pm, Mon Wed 12:00pm–1:20pm
