CHE 214 - Organic Chemistry II

(4 credits)

45 lecture hours; 45 lab hours
Prerequisites: CHE 213
Corequisites: CHE 214L
Lab fee
This course continues CHE 213: Organic Chemistry I. It involves further study of the structure and reactivity of organic compounds. This course is the second of a two semester sequence in organic chemistry for some biotechnology, premedical, pre-pharmacy, pre-dental, biology, chemistry, biochemistry, pre-chemical engineering students, etc. Topics normally treated during the second semester are stereochemistry, optical activity, alcohols, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, organic nitrogen compounds, aromatic chemistry, organic synthesis, and the qualitative identification of unknowns. Techniques learned during the first semester are put to practical use during the second semester.
