Organic Chemistry III

This is an advanced level course in organic chemistry that includes a laboratory component. The lectures will continue covering reactions of functional groups, but will also encompass some spectroscopy. Functionality to be covered includes amines/amides as well as carbonyl substitution/condensation reactions. The student will be introduced to UV and mass spectroscopy from the organic chemists point of view. IR and NMR spectroscopy from previous courses (325 and 427) will be utilized as well. The laboratory section will be much less rigid in its approach, allowing the student to be much more involved in the experiments.
