Description | This semester we explored organic structure, reactivity, and spectroscopy, by examining aromatic molecules, carbonyl compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds, pericyclic reactions, and organometallic chemistry. The emphasis was on mechanism and synthesis, along with relevance of the chemistry to biology, medicine, society, and the environment. By the end of the semester students had a solid intuitive sense of how organic molecules react and how to manipulate them in the lab. Just as importantly, we strove to understand the importance of the field of organic chemistry in the past, present, and future. Prerequisite: Organic Chemistry I. |
