CHM 201: Organic Chemistry I

Organic chemistry I focuses on the fundamental types of organic reaction mechanisms, the different classes of organic molecules, and how the shapes and internal movement of organic molecules affect their physical and chemical properties. Basic concepts of biochemistry are introduced, including basic classes of biomolecules and how many biochemical processes are driven by fundamental organic reaction mechanisms. The corequisite lab, offered separately as CHM 201L, focuses on experimental techniques and fundamental reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry.
