CHEM 242 Organic Chemistry II with Lab
This course continues the study of the reactivities of organic and inorganic molecules started in 241. Particular emphasis is placed on unsaturated systems. Laboratory work continues investigations into the synthesis, analysis, and identification of organic and inorganic molecules begun in 241.
Three hours classroom and four hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: 241.
CHEM 490 Bioorganic Chemistry
Bioorganic chemistry covers the organic chemistry of biological processes, looking at transformations that occur within cells. Particular attention will be given to how bacterial cell walls are formed and the methods by which antibiotics break down those walls.
