Organization, Regulations, and Courses 2024-25


CHEM 57 Honors Organic Chemistry

The first term of a two-term introduction to the chemistry of carbon compounds intended for students planning a chemistry major or career of research in a chemically-related science, including medical science. The lectures deal with the preparation, properties, and reactions of most of the important classes of organic compounds. There is considerable emphasis on reaction mechanisms and some attention is given to naturally occurring substances of biological importance. Topics are covered in greater depth, both in lecture and in the textbook, than in the CHEM 51-52 sequence. The laboratory work introduces the student to experimental techniques and instrumental methods including several types of chromatographic and spectroscopy techniques, organic synthesis, and identification of organic compounds. Enrollment in CHEM 57-58 is limited.

Prerequisite

Permission of instructor and either a grade of at least B+ in CHEM 6 (or B in CHEM 10) or a high score on the CHEM 6 credit test is required for CHEM 57.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
