Organic chemistry at St. Clair College goes well beyond what any other college in Ontario offers. The three organic courses (CHM 325, 427 and 527) provide an extensive tour of modern organic chemistry. The approach is by functional group and the use of mechanism is the norm.
The use of spectroscopy is crucial in chemistry these days and we utilize it heavily in the labs. IR is introduced in CHM 325, 1H and 13C NMR is introduced in CHM 427 and UV and MS are introduced in CHM 527. Thin Layer Chromatography is also used throughout all the organic labs.
