CHEM 012A — is the rst course in a two course sequence in organic chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences
(chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, and pre-medicine). A study of all aspects of fundamental organic chemistry including nomenclature, chemical and physical properties, reactions and syntheses of the major classes of organic compounds will be cover by the two-course sequence. e course sequence includes advance topics of organic chemistry such as theorical aspects, reaction mechanisms, multistep syntheses, and the chemistry of polycyclic and heterocyclic compounds. is course is more extensive an intensive than CHEM 002B and includes a greater emphasis on reaction mechanisms and multistep syntheses.
