Curriculum: Fulfills Science Requirement for A and S, Business and Engineering; Biology, Preprofessional Health Studies, and Environmental Science Requirement. Continuation of CHEM-342.
The chemistry of aromatic compounds-electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution.
Alcohols and phenols-synthesis and chemistry. Ethers and epoxides;Thiols and sulfides.
Chemistry of amines and carbonyl compounds.
Students who enroll in CHEM-343-MO1 must enroll also in a lab section.
II. Course Objectives:
To acquire a deep understanding of how to transform simple organic compounds into other more elaborate organic compounds.
This paves the way to understanding (i) the structure and reactivity of more complex molecules, such as biomolecules; (ii) the procedures involved in the synthesis of man-made molecules, such as pharmaceuticals.
