This course provides a basic understanding of the structure and function of organic molecules with emphasis on biological implications. Topics include principles of structure and bonding; functional groups; structural analysis; intermolecular forces; organic nomenclature; conformational analysis; stereochemistry; and spectroscopy. Principles of thermodynamics and kinetics, electron-pushing arrows and reaction mechanisms are emphasized for acid/base, substitution, and elimination reactions. Course Fee. Prerequisite: CHM 2170 General Chemistry II with Lab with a grade of C- or better. Corequisite: CHM 2251 Organic Chemistry I Laboratory.
