Lecture- 3 Lab- 3
4 credit hrs/6 contact hrs
Prerequisite: CHM 222 - Organic Chemistry I with “C” or better (2.0 out of a 4.0 scale)
Continuation of CHM 222. Common classes of organic compounds, including their nomenclature, structure, bonding, reactivity, mechanisms, synthesis and spectroscopic characterization.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Identify organic functional groups and predict their nomenclature, chemical properties and reactivity.
Analyze spectroscopic data including IR(Infrared), MS (Mass Spectrometry) and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)in order to elucidate the correct structure of a molecule.
Illustrate mechanisms of organic compounds including substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation-reduction, combustion, free radical, aromatic and pericyclic reactions.
Predict the product(s) of an organic reaction(s) consisting of one+ steps including stereo, regio- and chemo-selectivity.
Formulate a reasonable multi-step synthesis of organic compounds.
Safely perform in the laboratory procedures on chemical identity, chemical reactions, and isolating and purifying products.
Use chemical literature to write a proper laboratory report following established principles of scientific data.
