Overview of class

Foundational concepts in organic chemistry will be introduced. Topics include structure and properties of common functional groups, acidity/basicity, conformational analysis, stereochemistry, and reactivity of organic compounds. The chemistry of hydrocarbons, alkyl halides, and alcohols, ethers, and carbonyl compounds will be included.

Registration Requirements

Prerequisite: Grade of C- or better in CHEM 132/142 or CHEM 152/162 or CHEM 172/182; or qualifying score on the Chemistry Placement Exam.

Co-requisite: Must be taken concurrently with the CHEM 235-1 laboratory course at the same lecture time.

Class Materials (Required)

Title: Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, e-book (includes supplemental materials)
Author: Joel Karty
Publisher: Norton
ISBN: 9780393877649
Approx. price: $118 e-book

*Notes:
We recommend the e-book, because it includes supplemental materials not offered with the physical book. If you choose to purchase the paper copy of the book instead, you will also be required to purchase a standalone copy of the SmartWork homework platform ($35).

This is the same text used in CHEM 215-2 and 215-3.
