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 alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers, and epoxides. Also includes the theory and applications of spectroscopic techniques, including IR, NMR, and mass spectrometry analysis. Laboratory emphasizes synthesis and instrumental analysis.

Prerequisite CHEM& 261 with a minimum grade of 2.0.
