Organic Chemistry II CHEM 282 (2)

Considers the special properties and reactions of conjugated systems such as dienes and aromatic molecules. It places an emphasis on a range of carbonyl containing functional groups, their reactions, and their presence in biological molecules. A unifying theme is the prediction of reaction outcomes by the application of reaction mechanisms. Prerequisite: CHEM 281 with a minimum grade of C-. Students with credit for CHEM 283 may not take this course for further credit.
