CHEM& 262 - Organic Chemistry with Lab II

6 credits

Prerequisites
A grade of “C” or better in CHEM& 261 or instructor permission.

This course is a continuation of CHEM& 261. Structure, nomenclature, reactions and synthesis of aldehydes, ketones and aromatic compounds. Grignard synthesis of alcohols. Free radical reactions.

Theory Hours
4 theory hours.

Guided Practice Hours
4 guided practice hours.

AA Specified Elective
Satisfies specified elective requirement for the AA degree.

Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Describe the formation and predict the reactivity of alkenes, alkynes, free radicals, dienes, aromatic compounds, and organometallic compounds
Describe the mechanism of the formation and reactions of alkenes, alkynes, free radicals, dienes, aromatic compounds, and organometallic compounds
Outline plausible multi-step synthesis of target organic molecules that involve alkenes, alkynes, free radicals, dienes, aromatic compounds, and organometallic compounds
Evaluate the relative physical properties of alkenes, alkynes, free radicals, dienes, aromatic compounds, and organometallic compounds
Effectively use Instrumental Analysis (IR Spectroscopy, GC) for the elucidation of molecular structure
Demonstrate fundamental skills used by the organic chemist to synthesize and characterize molecules in the laboratory
Explain reasons for the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of experiments in the organic chemistry laboratory
