A continuation of CH330, organic chemistry 1. The study of structures, nomenclature, properties, and reactivity of ethers, epoxides, arenes, keytones, aldehydes, amines, carboxylic acids and derivatives, etc. Associated topics include reaction mechanisms, conjugated pi systems, aromaticity, molecular orbitals, polymers, an introduction to biomolecules/biochemistry, and methods of spectroscopic characterization. The lab includes techniques in the synthesis and purification of organic compounds, characterization by spectroscopy ( FTIR,NMR,MS) and basics of peptide synthesis.
