2013 – 2014 - Barton College

202 Arts and Sciences: Science, Mathematics, and PsychologyCHE 311. Organic Chemistry I. 4.A guided inquiry approach to the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Topics includenomenclature, the relationships of structure to physical and chemical properties, organicmechanisms, stereochemistry, conformational analysis, methods of synthesis, and characteristicreactions. Includes interpretation of IR and NMR spectra. The laboratory component will takea green chemistry approach to exercises including methods for the determination of physicalproperties, separation, purification, and synthesis of organic compounds. Fall.Prerequisite: CHE 152.Note: One three-hour laboratory per week.CHE 312. Organic Chemistry II. 4.A guided inquiry approach to the study of nomenclature, properties, synthesis, and reactions oforganic compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen, including biomolecules. The laboratorycomponent will take a green chemistry approach to exercises including synthesis of structurescontaining oxygen and nitrogen, application of IR and NMR spectra, and multi-step projects.Spring.Prerequisite: CHE 311.Note: Second semester continuation of CHE 311, one three-hour laboratory per week.CHE 320. Environmental Chemistry. 4.Array of topics covering the chemistry of the natural and polluted environment intended tobroaden student’s understanding in the chemical processes of the environment. Aspects of theenvironment with focus on aquatic chemistry and atmospheric chemistry would be exploreddrawing on the fundamental principles of analytical and organic chemistry. Effects of organicand inorganic chemicals and the chemistry of the biodegradable meterials would be discussed.Fall, odd years.Prerequisites: CHE 152.CHE 327. Biochemistry. 3.A study of the structure and properties of biological molecules, metabolism, enzymes, and kineticsof enzyme reactions. Fall, even years.Prerequisites: BIO 101 and CHE 312.CHE 329. Biochemistry Laboratory. 1.Laboratory exercises in analytical methods for the isolation and purification of biological materials,and studies of enzymatic reactions. Fall, even years.Prerequisite: CHE 312.Corequisite: CHE 327.
