CHY 252 - Organic Chemistry II

Reactivity of organic compounds and applications to synthesis. Spectroscopy is discussed in relation to compound characterization and structure elucidation. The topics in this class will complement the organic chemistry covered in other courses including biology, chemical synthesis, engineering, and microbiology. Emphasis will be placed on understanding why and how a chemical reaction takes place and the application to the “real-world.”

Prerequisites: A grade of C- or better in CHY 251 and CHY 253.
