Course Description

Organic Chemistry II is a continuation of CHEM 232A, B, and C for students pursuing an academic transfer degree in chemistry, biology, or chemical engineering as well as for medical pre-professional students. The course is offered as three modules, all of which must be completed to transfer as a semester-length course. The topics include spectroscopy; organometallics; and the structure, properties, and reactions of ethers, sulfides, and epoxides, including mechanism and stereochemistry. Beginning 14/FA, students registering for this course must also register for CHEM 233AL which is the laboratory component of the course.
