CHEM& 242 - Organic Chemistry II

4.0 Credits
Continuation of CHEM& 241 (was CHEM 231). Structure, nomenclature, reactions, and properties of organic molecules, especially aromatics and carbonyl compounds. Laboratory includes preparation of organic compounds and instrumental analysis (was CHEM 232). Prerequisite: CHEM& 241 (was CHEM 231) with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
