Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain the element carbon.
Chem 130 (Organic Chemistry 1) is the first part of the Organic Chemistry course for the BS Chemistry students.
This course is made up of two semesters of lectures. There are two approaches being used:
a. By functional groups: the two courses cover the functional groups sequentially in order of increasing complexity.
The structure, stereochemistry, nomenclature, chemical properties, reactivity, basic synthesis and spectroscopic analysis of each functional groups are covered together.
b. Structure and Reactivity: the first semester covers organic structure, stereochemistry, nomenclature and spectroscopic analysis, while the second semester shall focus on chemical properties, reactivity and basic synthesis.
