Editing CHEM 2311

{{DISPLAYTITLE:CHEM 2311 - Organic Chemistry I}}

'''CHEM 2311: Organic Chemistry I''' is a 3-credit first course in organic chemistry. It is directed towards students majoring in Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, or Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, as well as pre-health students.<ref>https://chemistry.gatech.edu/academics/courses/chem-2311-</ref> It is immediately succeeded by [[CHEM 2312]] or [[CHEM 2313]], and is immediately preceded by [[CHEM 1212K]]. 

== Workload ==
The textbook used is ''Organic Chemistry'' by Solomons and Fryhle.

Homework consists of online auto-graded problems. There are optional weekly recitations and PLUS sessions. There is no lab section.

Organic chemistry is widely considered to be a difficult course. Grading may be curved, and exams may have substantial extra credit.

The median student spends about 12.5 hours per week on CHEM 2311, according to SmartEvals.

== Topics List ==
Topics include (this list is from Pollet's Spring 2019 syllabus):

# 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

== Registration ==
CHEM 2311 is not a linked course, but it has a recitation. However unlike other recitations, it is a component of the course itself; it has no separate section. Thus, you must only register for the lecture section.

=== Prerequisites ===

* C or higher in [[CHEM 1212K]]
