CHEM 205 - Organic Chemistry I (Honors)

3 credits
3 lecture hours.

This is an introductory organic chemistry course designed for honor students. The topics treated are analogous to those in CHEM 203, but are covered in more depth. The course involves a systematic study of organic compounds. Topics include properties and synthesis of organic compounds, modern techniques in spectroscopic structural elucidation, stereochemistry, and conformational analysis. The laboratory covers purification, separation, synthesis, and kinetic experiments. Prerequisite courses listed must be completed with a grade of C or better in order to take the indicated course. It is expected that all prior prerequisite courses to the ones listed have also been satisfied with a grade of C or better.

Prerequisite(s) CHEM 105 and CHEM 105L and CHEM 106 and CHEM 106L or CHEM 111 and CHEM 111L and CHEM 112 and CHEM 112L AND all prior prerequisites for these courses completed with grades of “C” or higher
Co-Requisite(s) CHEM 205L
