CHEM 22 is the second part of a two-semester sequence in organic chemistry for science majors. The scope of the course encompasses the basic mechanisms and reactions of alcohols, ethers, aromatics, and carbonyls.
Emphasis is placed on integrated multi-step organic synthesis.
The structure and reaction of basic biomolecules is discussed from an organic chemistry perspective. Special topics such as heterocycles, polymers, and pericyclic reactions may also be included. Excessive absences may result in being dropped from the course roster. College attendance and withdrawal regulations apply. You will miss important material and anger the instructor when you disrupt the class by entering late.
