CHE2202 Organic Chemistry 1 (FOSCI)

Units 1.0 (Organic Chemistry) Band 2

Pre-requisite: CHE2120

Synopsis

THIS COURSE IS OFFERED IN EVEN-NUMBERED YEARS ONLY. This course is designed to introduce students to the realm of organic chemistry. It covers in detail the reactions and uses of molecules containing functional groups such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and amines in both aliphatic and aromatic compounds. The three dimensional shape of molecules and its applications are also studied. The course is supported by appropriate laboratory experimental work where students develop safe manipulative skills relevant to organic chemistry. A field trip to an NMR facility may also be included as part of the laboratory component.
