CH-521 Advanced Organic Chemistry  3 Cr
Prerequisite: CH-222 Organic Chemistry II or equivalent. Explores the effects of structure and environment on reaction rates and equilibria and the use of statistical and quantum mechanics in organic chemical reactions. Topics include organic reaction mechanism, Huckel theory, orbital symmetry, photochemistry and standard concepts of physical organic chemistry.
