Oct. 10. No classes on Mon. Sept. 3, Mon.-Tues. Sept. 17-18, Tues.-Wed. Sept. 25-26, Mon. Oct 8, Thurs.-Fri. Nov. 22-23. Course Objectives: Students will learn basic structural organic chemistry, including structures and nomenclature of hydrocarbons and compounds containing the most common functional groups including halides, alcohols, thiols and disulfides, amines, carbonyl compounds including aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and amides, and an introduction to biological molecules including amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Stereochemistry will be introduced, and students will learn to draw structures and convey three- dimensional information about structures. Reactions of these compounds will be introduced, but mechanisms of reactions, synthesis, and spectroscopy will not be covered in this course. At the conclusion, students will have a foundation that will allow them to enter a course in basic molecular biochemistry. Assessment: Problem solving ability will be tested using exams; while memorization of naming conventions and reactions will be required, the emphasis will be on understanding structures of organic compounds. Sample problems and answers both in the book and on the course web site will be representative of the material that will be found on exams. Course Requirements: Prerequisites for Chem 102.3: C or better in Chem 101.3 and 101.1, or C or better in Chem 113.4 and 113.1 Pre or corequisite: Chem 102.1 (C or better if prerequisite) Note: a C- in any pre or corequisite will not permit you to take 102.3/102.1!

Page 2 of 2 Course Objectives: Students will learn basic organic laboratory techniques including isolation and purification of organic compounds, and identification of organic compounds using chromatography and chemical tests; problem solving via understanding the use of the analytical tests is emphasized. Structural organic chemistry, which is a major focus of the lecture part of the course, will be covered in a molecular models session. Students will learn to carry out basic preparations of compounds and mixtures. At the conclusion, students will have a foundation that will allow them to carry out basic organic laboratory procedures, they will know how to keep an organic laboratory notebook, and they will know basic safety procedures including handling of hazardous waste. Assessment: Lab instructors will assess students by means of three short unannounced written quizzes on the procedures to be carried out, by grading of lab notebooks, by collecting laboratory products and assessing them for yield and purity and accuracy of reported results in the student notebook, and by observation of the students during lab, including student technique and adherence to safety rules. Course Requirements: Prerequisites for Chem 102.3: C or better in Chem 101.3 and 101.1, or C or better in Chem 113.4 and 113.1 Pre or corequisite: Chem 102.1 (C or better if prerequisite) Note: a C- in any pre or corequisite will not permit you to take 102.3/102.1!
