ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II

CHEM 345

Course Description

Principles of molecular structure and bonding applied to predict and explain the reactivity of aromatic systems, benzylic and allylic systems, aryl and vinyl halides, and carbonyl-containing compounds (e.g., ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, acid chlorides, amides). Emphasis placed on rationalizing the stereochemical and regiochemical outcome of chemical processes as well as arguing reaction outcomes from spectroscopic evidence.
