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.
