Course Descriptions - Food Science Series - Introductory Organic Chemistry: Structure, Concepts of Mechanisms and Spectroscopy CHEM 2401   Introductory Organic Chemistry: Structure, Concepts of Mechanisms and Spectroscopy
CREDIT HOURS: 3
Organic chemistry is introduced through an examination of bonding, conformation and stereochemistry. Spectroscopic methods (MS, IR, 1H and 13C NMR) are used to determine the structures of compounds. Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and alkyl halides are presented with an emphasis on the mechanisms of their reactions.
