CHEM 172 - Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions and Synthesis
Semester Hours:3Every Other Fall
This is an upper-level chemistry course intended for students majoring in chemistry or biochemistry. The focus of the course is on chemical reactivity, reaction mechanisms, and organic synthesis. Carbon-carbon bond formation and stereospecific transformations of organic molecules will be emphasized. We will also discuss functional group modifications via oxidation and reduction reactions in greater depth than in the CHEM 132 or CHEM 135 course.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: CHEM 132 or CHEM 135. Pre- or co-requisite: CHEM 137. May not be taken on a Pass/D+/D/Fail basis.
