Students study the structure and reactions of specific types of organic compounds and develop interrelationships that provide an integrated understanding of organic chemistry. The course emphasizes general principles and reaction mechanisms, but students are also expected to accumulate and utilize factual material. The laboratory is coordinated with classroom topics and should provide direct experience with many reactions and concepts. The laboratory is also intended to develop familiarity with experiment design, experimental techniques, and instrumental methods such as chromatography and spectroscopy.  Prerequisites: CHEM 201

An introduction to the design and development of organic syntheses.  The starting point is a predictable design of organic structures based on the use of carbanions and other modern reactions.  The versatility of these methods is discussed, using novel ways to apply these reactions to generate elusive structures.  Variations in reactivity are discussed to illustrate the differential reactivity of similar functional groups and how these differences may be used in selectivity.  Fairly complicated syntheses are evaluated to appreciate new ideas and approaches to synthesis.  Recent papers in organic synthesis are presented by the professor, students, and visiting speakers from industry and academia. Prerequisite: Chemistry 202.
