Organic Identification and Structure - CHM 331

This course studies the theoretical and practical aspects of the separation, purification and identification of organic compounds. The identification of pure compounds and of components of mixtures of organic compounds is accomplished by chemical and spectral methods and/ or synthesis of derivatives. It covers the theory of NMR (including two-dimensional proton), infrared and mass spectrometry with emphasis on spectral interpretation skills needed for the elucidation of structure.
Prerequisites: CHM 222, CHM 272.
