ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I

Course Description

The first half of a two semester course where the theory of the fundamental reactions of organic compounds are studied and practiced. This course will lay a sound foundation of organic chemistry for the student who has chosen chemistry or chemical engineering as a major field of study. It is also for the student who has chosen a field of study such as dentistry, pre-medicine, or pharmacy, where organic chemistry is a supporting subject.

Three one-hour lectures and two three-hour laboratories per week. Part of the laboratory time may be used for problem solving when the need arises. The prerequisite for this course is the completion of General Chemistry I and II with a grade of C or better.
