Course Title: Organic Chemistry II
Course Prefix & No.: CHEM 233A
LEC: 2
LAB: 1.5
Credit Hours: 2.5
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Organic Chemistry II is a continuation of CHEM 232A, B, C. This course is designed for the student pursuing
an academic transfer degree in chemistry, biology, chemical engineering, as well as medical pre-professional
students. The course, which includes both lecture and laboratory components, is taught as three modules, and all
three modules must be completed to transfer as a semester-length course. Topics covered in this module
include spectroscopy; organometallics; and the structure, properties, and reactions of ethers, sulfides, and
epoxides, including mechanism stereochemistry.
COURSE PREREQUISITE (S): College-level reading, writing, and math proficiency and CHEM 232C
RATIONALE:
The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a comprehensive introduction to organic chemistry.
The course is designed for majors in chemistry, biology, chemical engineering and medical pre-professionals.
