CHM 321/321L Advanced Organic Chemistry

Further study of the principles learned in CHM 201 and CHM 202. Emphasis is on the applications of physical chemistry (isotope effects, linear free-energy relationships, solvent effects, thermodynamics, orbital symmetry) to organic chemical reactions (eliminations and additions, substitutions and pericyclic reactions). CHM 321L Laboratory is optional. In this laboratory, advanced techniques of organic chemistry (microscale work, kinetics, manipulations of air-sensitive compounds, N.M.R. spectroscopy) will be covered and utilized to illustrate principles and reactions presented in the lecture. Lab Fee. Prerequisite: CHM 202. Offered as needed.
