Description
Prerequisite: C or better in SCI 251 (Organic Chemistry I)
SCI252 is a continuation of Organic Chemistry I (SCI251). More emphasis in this course is placed on the manipulation of functional groups and synthetic approaches. Compounds discussed in the second semester include carbonyl compounds, acid derivatives, amines and carbohydrates. The laboratory will place an emphasis on synthesis, isolation and purification of synthetic compounds and instrumental techniques in organic chemistry. A three-hour lab session is required each week.
