CHEM221L

This course expands on the systematic understanding of organic compounds and reactions developed in CHEM 220. The lecture focuses on ethers, aromaticity, pericyclic reactions, carbonyl chemistry, polymers, and organometallic reactions. Laboratory focuses on microscale organic synthesis, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Three class meetings, one laboratory per week. Prerequisite: C- or better in CHEM 220 or permission of the instructor. Students must also register for a lab.
