CHEM 230 - Survey of Organic Chemistry Units: 5 An introduction to the basic principles of organic chemistry with an emphasis on the chemistry of functional groups. Laboratory work in experimental organic chemistry techniques. Lecture Units: 4; Lab Units: 1.
Prerequisites: CHEM 112 with grade C- or better. Credit Restrictions: Not for chemistry or biochemistry major or minor credit.
Possible Instructional Methods: Entirely On-ground. Grading: A-F or CR/NC (student choice). Course Typically Offered: Fall ONLY
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;
- know and understand the common reaction mechanisms of organic reactions;
- safely carry out standard laboratory techniques for the purification of organic compounds, including distillation, recrystallization, column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, and extraction;
- measure the infrared spectrum of an unknown solid or liquid and be able to identify the functional groups present.
