Description
Structure and classification of compounds of carbon with stress on the aliphatics; IUPAC nomenclature; properties, characteristic reactions of the common functional groups, especially of the oxygen functions; concepts of stereochemistry; introduction to mechanisms; stress on Bronsted and Lewis acid/base processes. Laboratory exercises directed to demonstration of mechanistic processes. Lab will meet 3 hours per week. Prerequisite: CHM 1110 or equivalent. Corequisite: CHM 2210.
