Recent developments in the areas of structural theory, sterochemistry, molecular rearrangement and mechanism of reactions of selected classes of organic compounds. One year of Organic Chemistry or Chemistry 721. An advanced treatment of organic reactions designed to give the students a working knowledge of the scope and limitations of the important synthetic methods of Organic Chemistry. A lecture course on advanced topics in Organic Chemistry. An advanced laboratory course.
Emphasis is placed on the preparation and purification of more complex organic compounds.
Alecture course on advanced topics in Biochemistry. The theoretical bases of Analytical Chemistry are presented in detail. In the laboratory, these principles together with a knowledge of chemical properties are used to identify substances and estimate quantities in unknown samples. A lecture course in which the theoretical bases of Analytical Chemistry and their application in analysis will be reviewed with greater depth than is possible in the customary undergraduate courses. Equilibrium processes, including proton and electron transfer reactions and matter-energy interactions, will be considered.
