Topics covered include functional groups, nomenclature, structure, bonding, isomers, conformations, chirality, reactions that proceed through ionic mechanisms, structure elucidation using NMR, MS, and IR, and introduction to multistep synthesis. Specific reactions covered include acid-base, nucleophilic substitution, elimination, oxidation, reduction, and carbon-carbon bond formation reactions. Laboratory work includes appropriate techniques, synthetic and analytical methods including melting points, recrystallization, distllation, chroatography, extraction, GC/MS, and IR.  Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory.
