CH 230 - Organic Chemistry I (CBL-R)
Credits: 4
An intensive study of the chemistry of carbon compounds. Topics include bonding, structure, nomenclature, reactions of functional groups (both singly and in combination), synthesis, mechanisms and the organic chemistry of biomolecules such as carbohydrates and lipids.
This is a Community-Based Learning - Required (CBL-R) course.
Prerequisite/Corequisite
Prerequisite: Completion of CH 131 or permission of instructor
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to do the following:
- Identify the fundamental elements of molecular structure and bonding and apply these concepts and models to organic molecules.
- Analyze organic molecules in three-dimensional form and relate the conformational and stereochemical information to their reactivity and behavior with other molecules.
- Apply the fundamental principles of organic chemical reactivity to new reaction types by employing (1) electron flow arrow-pushing mechanisms, (2) molecular orbital interactions, and (3) principles of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics. We will do this in the context of acid-base chemistry, carbonyl addition reactions, and substitution reactions of alkyl halides (SN2, SN1).
- Communicate and solve chemical information by becoming proficient in nomenclature, functional group classifications, line-bond representation of organic molecules, and spectroscopic methods and analyses using NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and IR (Infrared) spectroscopy.
Notes
Laboratory, done on a micro-scale basis, emphasizes techniques, characterization and synthesis of representative compounds: 3 hours per week.
