Outcomes

Apply organic chemistry principles and theories as they relate to organic compounds covered in CH 241, CH 242, and CH 243. Identify the different types of organic chemistry reactions covered in CH 243 and illustrate the reaction mechanism. Predict the products, reactants, and/or reagents of organic chemistry reactions covered in CH 241, CH 242, and CH 243. Design multi-step organic syntheses for reactions covered in CH 241, CH 242, and CH 243. Analyze Infrared (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Mass Spectroscopy data as they relate to the structure of organic compounds. Perform organic chemistry experiments, analyze recorded data, and evaluate the data while working safely in a laboratory environment.
