(3 units). This course builds on the fundamental concepts introduced in its prerequisite, emphasizing the relationship between structural information and the reactivity of organic molecules, reaction mechanisms, multi-step synthesis and stereochemistry. Topics include reactions of sigma electrophiles (E1, SN1, E2, SN2) including oxidation reactions; reactions of pi electrophiles bearing leaving groups (e.g., esters, acetals), pi nucleophiles (enols, enolates) with a range of electrophiles. The course also introduces spectroscopic techniques for the structural identification of organic molecules. Course Component: Discussion Group, Lecture Prerequisite: CHM 1321.
