CHEM 331 - Organic Chemistry I Units: 5 Fundamental principles of organic chemistry including nomenclature, properties and reactions of organic compounds emphasizing reaction mechanisms. Laboratory work in basic techniques and synthesis. Lecture Units: 3; Lab Units: 2.
Prerequisites: CHEM 112 with grade C- or better. Equivalent Quarter Course: Students who have completed CHEM 3301 and CHEM 3302 will receive credit for CHEM 331. Possible Instructional Methods: Entirely On-ground. Grading: A-F grading only. Course Typically Offered: Fall & Spring
Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to: - predict bonding, nomenclature, chemical properties and some physical properties of organic compounds if the molecular structure is known;
- identify common organic functional groups and show a knowledge of the chemistry and reactivity of each functional group;
- draw the common reaction mechanisms of organic reactions, and be able to indicate the mechanism and type of intermediate involved in the reactions;
- safely carry out standard laboratory techniques for the purification of organic compounds, including distillation, recrystallization, column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, and extraction;
- carry out standard functional group transformations of organic compounds, and isolate and characterize the resulting products.
