This course examines the fundamental concepts of organic chemistry through experimentation. Planned experiments demonstrate the chemistry of fundamental groups of organic molecules. Proper chemistry laboratory technique and safety are stressed. This course is a continuation of Organic Chemistry I, presenting the fundamental concepts, theories, and reactions of carbon-containing compounds. This course emphasizes properties, structure-reactivating relationships, and mechanisms of the major classes of carbon compounds.
Special consideration is given to carbon compounds found in living systems.
In this continuation of the Organic Chemistry I Laboratory, the student will perform experiments to observe the mechanisms that govern organic chemistry reactions. An introduction to biochemistry is also included during the course. This course covers the structural and functional anatomy of the human body through the examination of the systems of the body. This laboratory complements and supplements lecture topics through the use of models and anatomical specimens. Various organ systems will be presented.
