| CHE 310 | ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I course syllabus (pdf format) |
3 credits, 3 credits, 3-hrs. lecture/1-hrs. recitation |
Prerequisite: CHE 220 and CHE 222
This course will provide the student with a thorough
understanding of the basic concepts of organic chemistry.
Molecular structure and bonding will be introduced at a
theoretical level. Students will become familiar with molecular
orbitals and their use in understanding chemical phenomena,
hydrocarbons, stereochemical (3-dimensional) aspects of
structure; strategies of organic synthesis will be emphasized by
means of problem solving. This course is intended for
chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, chemical
engineering, and other students on scientific or professional
careers paths. |

| CHE 314 | ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I Lab | 3 credits, 6-hrs lab |
Pre/Co-requisite: CHE 310
The students will be introduced to organic chemistry laboratory
techniques, including methods of synthesis, isolation,
purification, and analysis. The major techniques introduced will
be distillation, extraction, and recrystallization. The
chromatographic techniques that will be used include thin layer,
micro-column, and gas chromatography. Infrared spectroscopy
will also be introduced. These techniques will be introduced in
conjunction with a synthetic experiment (e.g. Sn1 reaction, aldol
condensation, Diels-Alder reaction, synthesis of aspirin and
acetylferrocene). For students majoring in Natural or Physical
Sciences. this is the Organic Chemistry I Laboratory course for
chemistry majors |

| CHE 320 | ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II course syllabus (pdf format) |
3 credits, 3-hrs. lecture/1-hrs. recitation |
Prerequisite: CHE 310 and CHE 312 or CHE 314
The objective of this course is to give students of chemical,
physical sciences and molecular biological sciences a complete
and in-depth understanding of organic chemistry. The chemistry
of the remaining functional groups not covered in CHE 310 will
be discussed including nomenclature, stereosomerism, and
stereoseletivity of reactions. Organic functional groups will be
introduced and discussed in detail. Problem solving will be
used to give the student a working understanding of multi-step
reaction mechanisms, modern reagents used for organic
synthesis, and synthetic strategy. Polyfunctional compounds
and interactions between functional groups will also be
covered, as well as applications of organic chemistry in
biochemistry, biotechnology, and materials science. Modern
organic analytical methods, such as mass spectrometry and
nuclear magnetic resonance will be covered in detail.Coerequisite: CHE 322 |
