Introduction to the classification, structure, reactions, and reaction
mechanisms of carbon compounds. The general outcome goals are that
students will understand the classification, structure, nomenclature,
reactions, reaction mechanisms, and synthesis of carbon compounds
including halocarbons, alkenes, and alcohols. Thereby, this course can
provide a solid foundation in the fundamentals of organic chemistry
essential for the rational study of biochemistry, molecular biology,
and materials applications of polymers..
