CHM 273 - Organic Chemistry II

A continuation of CHM 263 with emphasis on nomenclature, synthesis, structure and bonding, reaction mechanisms and spectrascopic methods. Topics covered include UV-Vis spectroscopic, aromatic substitution arenes, carbonyls compounds, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines, alcohols, ethers, phenols, physiologically active molecules. Some topics of biochemistry are introduced.
