This course will teach students advanced organic reactions, syntheses, mechanistic, and structural studies of organic compounds. Furthermore, students will learn the organic synthesis of proteins and DNA. Through lecture and laboratory, students successfully completing the course will demonstrate an understanding of organic synthesis, organic laboratory skills, and instrumentation, such characterization of unknowns, nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, chromatography, and mass spectroscopy.
For successful completion of this course it is recommended that students are familiar with Organic Chemistry I or its equivalent.
How This Course Works
