CH 221 Organic Chemistry I FA 4 s.h.
CH 222 Organic Chemistry II SP 4 s.h.
An integrated course examining the structure, synthesis and reactions of aliphatic and aromatic organic compounds and stressing the underlying principles of reaction mechanisms, kinetics, stereochemistry and detection techniques. The second half of the course (CH 222) is a continuation of the first half and includes the study of fats, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids. The laboratory is designed to familiarize the student with basic techniques of organic chemistry including extractions, crystallization, distillation and chromatography, and the application of these techniques to qualitative analysis and synthesis. Prerequisites: CH 173-174. Hours of class per week: 3. Hours of lab per week: 3.
