CHEM& 242 - Organic Chemistry II

4 Credits
Continuation of CHEM& 241. Topics covered will include structure, nomenclature, reactions, mechanisms, and properties of organic molecules. Also includes IR, NMR, and mass spectrometry analysis. Laboratory includes preparation of organic compounds and instrumental analysis. Prerequisite: CHEM& 241 with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
