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.
