Students continue their study of organic chemistry by discussing aromatic compounds, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, and organic nitrogen compounds. Synthesis using carbanion and enolate ion methods are emphasized. Students also explore the chemistry of various organic compounds found in biological systems: carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins and peptides, and nucleic acids. Working through this course, students are expected to apply their knowledge to problem-solve, deduce structures, and synthesize simple organic molecules using the studied reactions. Relationships between organic chemistry and other disciplines are noted. CHEM 2225 is the laboratory companion to this course. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for the course, but CHEM 2123, CHEM 2125 are recommended. Note: Students cannot get credit for more than one of CHEM 2220, CHEM 2223.
