Chem 311 is the third in the three-term undergraduate organic chemistry lecture sequence that includes Chem 211, Chem 212, and Chem 311. It is a continuation of course 212. It emphasizes on the chemistry of ?-substitutions of carbonyl compounds and condensation reactions (carbon-carbon bond formation). It demonstrates an understanding of basic principles of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids and selected biologically important compounds. It provides the basic knowledge of aromatic heterocycles, free radicals and pericyclic reactions. It also makes connection from chemical principles to the structures and functions of biological molecules. Demonstrate an understanding of the chemical environment and the role that organic molecules play in the natural and the synthetic medicinal drugs.
