CHEM 12A
Organic Chemistry I
Course Description
This is an introduction to the physical properties and chemical behavior of important classes of organic compounds, focusing on hydrocarbons and haloalkanes. Topics include retrosynthesis, spectroscopic structure determination, and the reaction mechanism. Laboratory experiments will involve the synthesis of simple compounds and the characterization of those compounds using gas chromatography (GC), and infrared (IR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This course is for chemistry majors or those in closely-allied fields such as biochemistry and chemical engineering.
