    Description
    The second semester of a year-long organic chemistry course designed to follow Chemistry 12A. Students will study topics including nomenclature, stereochemistry, mechanisms, reactions, and spectroscopic studies of aliphatic and aromatic alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, and other classes of organic and biological compounds. Students will use problem-solving techniques in order to elucidate mechanistic and 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.
