CHEM 2311: Organic Chemistry I is a 3 credit initial course in organic chemistry. It is intended for students majoring in Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, or Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, as well as pre-health students.[1] It is immediately succeeded by CHEM 2312 or CHEM 2313, and it is immediately preceded by CHEM 1212K.
Workload[edit | edit source]
The textbook used is Organic Chemistry by Solomons and Fryhle. Homework consists of online auto-graded problems, and there are optional weekly recitations and PLUS sessions. CHEM 2311 has no lab section.
Organic chemistry is widely considered to be a difficult course; grading may be curved, and exams may have substantial extra credit.
Topic List[edit | edit source]
- Bonding and molecular structure
- Functional groups, intermolecular forces, and infrared (IR) spectroscopy
- Acids and bases
- Alkanes and cycloalkanes
- Stereochemistry
- Chiral molecules
- Nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides
- Elimination reactions of alkyl halides
- Alkenes and alkynes
- Addition reactions
- Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy
- Radical reactions
- Conjugated unsaturated systems
- Aromatic compounds
- Multistep synthesis
This topic list is from spring 2019.
Registration[edit | edit source]
CHEM 2311 is not a linked course, but it has a recitation. However, the recitation is a component of the course itself, having no separate section, so students only register for a lecture section.
Resources[edit | edit source]
- Old syllabus
- Easy-to-read IR spectroscopy table by Compound Chemistry - however, during an exam, only the reference sheet given can be used
- IR guide by Master Organic Chemistry
- Reactions Quizlet for Spring 2019
