231L Introduction to Organic Chemistry Laboratory Techniques (1) Theories underlying standard organic laboratory techniques are introduced. The student then applies these methods to the synthesis, isolation, and purification of representative organic compounds. The student is introduced to the use of instrumental and spectral methods in organic chemistry. Corequisite: Chemistry 231.

232L Organic Synthesis and Analysis (1) The methodology and strategy of organic synthesis are developed further through the use of synthetic sequences. The combined use of chemical and spectral methods to identify organic compounds is introduced. Prerequisite: Chemistry 231 and 231L. Corequisite: Chemistry 232.

371 Chemical Synthesis and Characterization (3) A study of the chemistry of and methods for the synthesis, separation, and identification of chemical compounds. Emphasis is given to specialized techniques involved in synthesizing organic and inorganic compounds, and to identification of compounds by spectral methods. Lectures, one hour per week; laboratory, six hours per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 232, 232L. Chemistry 511 is strongly recommended as a prerequisite or corequisite .

531 Advanced Organic Chemistry (3) The major concepts of organic chemistry are reviewed along with a review of relevant material, already presented in introductory organic chemistry courses. Special topics may include heterocycles , organic polymers, organic reaction mechanisms, spectral utilization, synthesis methodology, the utilization of molecular orbitals, and orbital symmetry for certain organic reactions. Lectures, three hours per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 232.
