CHEM 316 - Organic Chemistry II
3 hrs (Sem II)
This course lays the groundwork for more complex topics by teaching students how to think about chemical mechanisms, introducing the concepts of electrophilicity, nucleophilicity, addition reactions, and substitution reactions. It introduces classic methods for carbon-carbon bond formation, including the use of enolates and rearrangement reactions. Students learn to predict the relative reactivity of functional groups and are introduced to the concepts of thermodynamic and kinetic control. Students submit a paper using a formal argument to correlate molecular structure to observed properties of reaction type. 3 lecture hours.
Prerequisite(s): A grade of C or better in CHEM 315 and CHEM 315L .
