CHE2011 Organic Chemistry

This lab course is designed for biology students and is required for students in the BS in Life Science degree. It will cover the aspects of organic chemistry which apply to biological systems, including organic structure and bonding, stereochemistry, reactivity and catalysis, organic acids and bases, substitution reactions and phosphoryl transfer reactions. The lab will include techniques that demonstrate simple synthesis and purification and identification using gas chromatography and UV-visible spectrometry. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to identify and understand major organic chemical structures, nomenclature and reactions and apply these concepts to biological systems. These goals will be pursued via a variety of methods including videos, in-class individual and group problem-solving, interpretation of spectra, laboratory investigations, and student presentations Credits: 4.000
