CHEM 2423 - Organic Chemistry I 4 credit hours. 3 lecture hours. 4 lab hours.
Prerequisites: CHEM 1412
R W
Fundamental principles of organic chemistry will be studied, including the structure, bonding, properties, and reactivity of organic molecules; and properties and behavior of organic compounds and their derivatives. Emphasis is placed on organic synthesis and mechanisms. Includes study of covalent and ionic bonding, nomenclature, stereochemistry, structure and reactivity, reaction mechanisms, functional groups, and synthesis of simple molecules. The lecture and laboratory portions are integrated together in this course. Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental principles of organic chemistry, including the structure, bonding, properties, and reactivity of organic molecules; and properties and behavior of organic compounds and their derivatives. Emphasis is placed on organic synthesis and mechanisms. Includes study of covalent and ionic bonding, nomenclature, stereochemistry, structure and reactivity, reaction mechanisms, functional groups, and synthesis of simple molecules. Methods for the purification and identification of organic compounds will be examined. THIS COURSE IS INTENDED FOR STUDENTS IN SCIENCE OR PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS.
Additional Fees: Lab Fee $24 and $81.18 Online textbook and access code
Measurable Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will: Classify organic compounds by structure, molecular orbitals, hybridization, resonance, tautomerism, polarity, chirality, conformation, and functionality in lecture and lab. Identify organic molecules using appropriate organic nomenclature in lecture and lab. Describe the principle reactions for syntheses of molecules, ions, and radicals. Describe organic reactions in terms of radical and ionic mechanisms in lecture and lab. Describe the use of spectroscopic data to determine the structure of organic molecules. Formulate appropriate reaction conditions for the synthesis of simple organic molecules. Perform chemical experiments, analysis procedures, and waste disposal in a safe and responsible manner. Utilize scientific tools such as glassware and analytical instruments to collect and analyze data.
