Organic Chemistry A Lec/Disc
Prerequisites: (CHEM 102 or CHEM 106) and MATH 118 (or equivalent).
Lecture and discussion course for non-chemistry majors surveying nomenclature, structures, properties, stereochemistry, reactions, mechanisms, and syntheses of aliphatic hydrocarbons, alkyl halides, alcohols, and ethers.
Outcomes: Students will identify classes of organic compounds and typical reactions, discriminate amongst intermediate stabilities, postulate reaction mechanisms, plan multi-step syntheses, and analyze/interpret spectroscopic data.
