The course builds upon the concepts and skills learned in a typical year long sophomore-level organic chemistry class. Topics include: The Chemical Literature and Databases; Stereochemistry and Structural Organic Chemistry; Synthetic Organic Chemistry; Mechanistic and Physical Organic Chemistry; NMR Spectroscopy. The course follows closely to the textbook Intermediate Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, by Ann M. Fabirkiewicz and John C. Stowell.
