CHEM& 262 - Organic Chemistry II with Lab

6.0 Credits
Continuation of CHEM& 261. 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& 261 with a minimum grade of 2.0.
Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
