CHE 2121 Organic Chemistry II
The study of alcohols, ethers, epoxides, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, derivatives of carboxylic acids, enolates, carbanions, amines, polycyclic and heterocyclic aromatic compounds, pericyclic reactions, and polymers. Four classroom, three lab hours per week.
Prerequisites: CHE 2111
Course Outcomes
- Name alcohols, ethers, epoxides, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, nitriles, acid halides, anhydrides, esters, amides, and amines using the IUPAC nomenclature rules.
- Use NMR, IR, UV, and mass spectroscopy to determine structures and predict spectra of organic compounds.
- Design multi-step syntheses of given target molecules using retro-synthetic analysis.
- Explain applications of organic chemistry in society and our lives.
- Describe properties and reactions of alcohols, ethers, epoxides, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, nitriles, acid halides, anhydrides, esters, amides, and amines.
- Use the arrow-pushing method to explain reaction mechanisms of nucleophilic addition, nucleophilic acyl substitution, carbonyl alpha substitution, carbonyl condensation and pericyclic reactions.
- Use molecular orbital theory to explain and predict the products of pericyclic reactions.
