CHM 261 - Organic Chemistry

Required for students majoring in chemistry or chemical engineering; recommended for other science majors and premedical and predental students. A comprehensive study of the chemical principles underlying aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Emphasis is placed on the commercial and laboratory syntheses of these materials as well as their uses. Mechanisms, stereochemistry, and spectroscopy are stressed to illustrate the logic inherent in the subject matter and to demonstrate the predictability of many of the chemical transformations discussed.
