CHEM& 263 Organic Chem w/Lab III (6 credits)
Distribution Area Fulfilled Natural Sciences with Lab; General Transfer Elective
Formerly CHEM 222 - CCN
Prerequisite CHEM& 262 with a grade of at least 1.5, or instructor permission.
Course Description
The third quarter of a three quarter sequence in organic chemistry for university transfer, designed for science majors, pre-medical, pre-dental and other pre-professional curricula. Further discussion of the properties and transformations of organic molecules, including biomolecules. Lab included.
Course Content
A. Aldehydes and Ketones reactions at the alpha-carbon, chemistry of enolate ions, aldol reactions
B. Carboxylic Acids derivatives of carboxylic acids: acyl halides, acid anhydrides, esters, amides nucleophilic substitution at acyl carbon
C. Amines: physical and chemical properties
D. Beta-Dicarbonyl Compounds
E. Phenols and Aryl Halides nucleophilic aromatic substitution
F. Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids
Student Outcomes
1. Explain the formation and reactions of enolate ions using arrow-pushing mechanisms illustrating the flow of electrons.
2. Describe the structure, reactivity, and synthesis of carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives.
3. Describe the structure, reactivity, and synthesis of amines.
4. Identify the structure and explain the basic functions of the major biological molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids).
5. Use multiple course-specific organic lab techniques to safely carry out a variety of processes, including the design and implementation of self-generated lab projects.
6. Demonstrate via multiple modalities (e.g. case studies, labs, projects) how course-specific organic chemistry concepts and theories apply to and influence the broader world.
Degree Outcomes
Natural Sciences: Graduates use the scientific method to analyze natural phenomena and acquire skills to evaluate authenticity of data/information relative to the natural world.
Global Citizenship: Graduates will be able to critically examine the relationship between self, community, and/or environments, and to evaluate and articulate potential impacts of choices, actions, and contributions for the creation of sustainable and equitable systems.
