 Organic Chemistry II

Emily McLaughlin

 T Th    8:30 am-10:00 am

RKC 103

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.  Prerequisite: CHEM 201.  Class size: 20

RKC 122

SCI

An introduction to the chemistry of the elements, the class places emphasis on the classification of the properties and reactivity of the elements by chemical periodicity, structure, and bonding. Topics in modern inorganic chemistry to be covered include: molecular orbital and spectroscopic applications of symmetry and group theory, coordination chemistry of the transition metals, and organometallic reactions and mechanisms.  Prerequisites: Chemistry 201-202. Co-requisites: CHEM 360, or permission of instructor.  Class size: 12

Advanced lab concepts and techniques will be introduced and studied.  Multi-step organic and organometallic synthesis will cover a solid portion of the course. Air and moisture sensitive techniques will be explored.  We will also cover many analytical, physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry techniques and applications, as necessary. Weekly assignments, tests, presentations, and lab reports will be the basis for evaluation for the course. Class size: 12

 DNA / RNA: THE Structure and Function of  Nucleic Acids

Swapan Jain

 T         3:10 pm-5:30 pm

RKC 122

N/A

Cross-listed:  Biology  4 credits  The fundamental goals of this course are to enable the students to apply the knowledge & understanding gained in chemistry and biology classes to advanced topics of study.  This seminar-style course will begin with a review of nucleic acid chemistry. The influence of DNA/RNA structure on replication, transcription and translation will be discussed.   The importance of protein-nucleic acid interactions and the role of RNA in regulation (catalytic RNA, riboswitches and RNA interference pathways) will be the major topics of inquiry. Students will routinely utilize modeling/imaging software to acquire a deeper appreciation of nucleic acid structure.  The course will be taught using primarily literature/materials posted on Moodle and books on library reserves desk. Prerequisites:  Biochemistry (CHEM 390/BIOL 301) and permission of the instructor.  Class size: 12
