SCI

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.  Class size: 20

Cross-listed: Biology  This course is an introduction to biochemistry with an emphasis on the study of biomolecules that are central to the function of living systems. Topics of study are protein and nucleic acid structure/function/regulation, mechanism/kinetics of enzymes and a brief introduction to metabolism. The study of biochemistry is at the interface of chemistry and biology. A strong foundation in introductory biology and organic chemistry is necessary. Prerequisites: Biology 141 and Chemistry 201-202.  Class size: 12

SCI

2 credits   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.  Class size: 12
