Organic Chemistry II (CHE 232E/CHE 234LE)
Organic Chemistry II Lecture (CHE 232E) is a self-paced, online course that introduces you to the chemical reactions of alkenes, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids. Their derivatives and amines are surveyed, and a mechanistic understanding of reactions is further developed. The structure and properties of multifunctional compounds, including amino acids, carbohydrates, and steroids, are also presented.
The Organic Chemistry II Lab (CHE 234LE) is a self-paced, online lab where more chemical reactions of organic compounds are carried out. A multistep sequence of reactions results in the preparation of a known pharmaceutical agent. Infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra are discussed and applied to the identification of reaction products.
After completing the courses above, you'll be well-prepared to pursue a degree in fields such as pharmacy.
Prerequisites: Organic Chemistry I (CHE 231) or equivalent
MCPHS also offers Organic Chemistry I. Please visit our Organic Chemistry I prerequisite course page for more information.
Course Format
Organic Chemistry II (CHE 232E/CHE 234LE) is an online, asynchronous, self-paced course that includes both a 3-credit lecture session and a 1-credit laboratory session.

We suggest that students purchase their course materials after registering and gaining access to their course. Detailed instructions will then be provided.
The lecture course requires the following textbook:
Organic Chemistry with Biological Topics, 6th Edition, Janice Smith
A webcam is also required
The lab requires Beyond Labz an online virtual lab software.
Students can receive a full tuition refund if they drop a course within five business days of registering. Course changes will also be allowed during this five-day window.
After the five-day window closes (and up until the course's completion date), students may choose to withdraw from the course without a refund. This would result in a "W" on their student record.
Students should use a computer to interact with the course content rather than a mobile device, iPad, or Tablet. Please confirm you have the minimum computer specifications by reviewing the technology requirements for MCPHS before registering for your course.
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they have all the required resources needed to access the course material and software.
