The course will introduce some of the basic concepts in organic chemistry - nomenclature, structures, properties, reactions of organic molecules and their relevance our day to day life. In addition students will analyze spectroscopic (FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis and Mass-Spec) and other analytical data (Melting/Boiling points, Molecular Weight, Percent Elemental Composition) to determine the structure of unknown compound. Lecture meets 4 hours per week.
