CHY 253 - Organic Chemistry II

A continuation of CHY 251, but with a more comprehensive (and intensive) investigation of the principal categories of organic reactions. Extensive problem solving and critical thinking in such areas as predicting products of multi-step synthesis, deducing mechanisms, retrosynthesis, and spectroscopy will be explored. The structures and fundamental chemical reactions of alkenes, alkynes, and carbonyl-containing compounds will be presented.
