UAFS Legacy Course Number: CHEM 4703
Credit Hours: 3
Contact Hours: 3 Lecture
Offered: Irregular

Explores classical and modern methods of determining organic reaction mechanisms, examination of factors affecting the course of organic reactions, and approaches (curved arrow, molecular orbitals) to interpreting organic phenomena. Surveys carbon based intermediates and select “Name Reactions”. Transition state theory, free energy relationships and select derivatives: the reactivity selectivity principle and the Brown Selectivity Relationship (BSR). Includes the survey of (hyper) deamination.
