CHEM 171 - Advanced Organic Chemistry: Structure and Mechanisms
Semester Hours:3Every Other Fall
This is an advanced course that expands on the organic chemistry learned in the foundations of organic chemistry course. It includes advanced topics in bonding theory, including molecular orbital and density functional theory, stereochemistry, and the methodology used to study reaction mechanisms. The methods are then used to look at several specific organic reaction mechanisms (3 hours lecture).
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: CHEM 135 or permission of instructor. (Formerly Advanced Organic Chemistry.)
