CHE 3100 - Organic Chemistry I

Credits: 4

Prerequisite(s): CHE 1800, CHE 1810, and CHE 1811

Description: This is the first of a two-semester sequence covering organic chemistry. Topic coverage emphasizes basic organic systems ranging from saturated organic compounds (alkanes) to unsaturated compounds (alkenes, alkynes, aromatics), halogenated organic compounds, and basic organometallic systems. The class also covers basic reaction mechanisms and the fundamental electronic principles governing such transformations, as well as the synthesis of organic systems using the retrosynthetic method.
