Part I of this course will cover the fundamental aspects of organic chemistry including the structure and properties of the more important classes of organic compounds. Part II is concerned with the composition of biological materials, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, nucleic acids. Part III deals with the nature of selected biochemical processes which enable living organisms to grow and reproduce. A student can earn one-half semester hour of credit per semester up to a maximum of 4 semester hours toward a degree through participation in an internship in a divisional activity, such as lab assistant or tutor. A study of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and the functional derivation of these organic compounds with emphasis on reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, and modern concepts of orbital and transition state theory.
Laboratory includes instruction in physical methods of analysis and synthesis or organic compounds.
The student must also design, develop and complete a research project during the semester. Three lectures and four hour laboratory weekly. F CHE 302 Organic chemistry II 5 sem. Course content the same as CHE 301. The student must also design, develop and complete a research project during the semester.
