    Description
    This is the first semester of a year-long comprehensive organic chemistry course with emphasis on structure, reaction mechanisms, and kinetics. Students will study topics that include nomenclature, stereochemistry, mechanisms, reactions, and spectroscopic studies of organic compounds. They will use problem-solving techniques in order to elucidate mechanistic, structural, and stereochemical features of reactions and molecules, respectively. In lectures and laboratory students will implement methods that focus on synthesis, isolation, purification, elucidation, and identification of organic structures, instrumental methods, and data interpretation.
