Instructor: Mustafa Yatin

Prerequisites: A satisfactory grade (C- or better) in CHEM 25a or its equivalent. CHEM 25b honors option involves a separate recitation and permission of the instructor to enroll. Students in the honors section will receive a note on their transcript designating the class "Honors Organic Chemistry."

Course Description: CHEM 25B is a continuation of CHEM 25A. This course meets the second half of the organic chemistry requirement for chemistry, biology, premedical, and pre-dental majors when taken in conjunction with the laboratory course CHEM 29B. The course will build upon concepts of structure and reactivity from CHEM 25A. Much emphasis will be placed on the chemistry of carbonyl compounds, and other biologically relevant molecules such as carbohydrates. Organic compounds of chemical, medicinal, and biological interest will be examined through current literature examples. The multi-step synthetic pathways will be explained by sequences of elementary mechanistic steps to describe a large number of reactions. We will particularly emphasize the green chemistry principles in the context of organic reactions and experiments.
