CHE 3110 - Organic Chemistry II

Credits: 4

Prerequisite(s): CHE 3100

Description: This course is the second of a two-semester investigation of organic chemistry. Topic coverage emphasizes basic homonuclear and heteronuclear systems, both saturated and unsaturated, and extends concepts learned in CHE 3100 to significantly more complex electronic systems. Students enrolled in this course explore functional group transformations from an electronic basis. The relationship of mechanisms and stereoelectronics are central to the synthesis of organic systems. Students in this course learn to evaluate and apply these concepts for retrosynthetic analysis and forward synthesis of organic structures using multi-step transformations.
