CHM 216 - Organic Chemistry II

The major functional groups based upon oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur are covered. The reactions of these compounds are approached from a mechanistic perspective including inductive, resonance, thermodynamic, kinetic and equilibrium effects. Special topics include polymers, intramolecular rearrangements and photochemical reactions. In the laboratory, emphasis is on the accomplishment of major classes of organic reactions and synthesis. Offered winter semester only.
