Course Description and Objectives:
Chemistry 202 is a course that will build on the foundation that was established in CHM 201. The course will begin with the study of alchohols, their synthesis and reactions. It is important to recognize that much of this continues the substitution and elimination concepts from the fall semester. We will then focus on structure elucidation using infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Take a look at some excellent tutorials and spectroscopy resources on my LINKS page. The course will then continue with the study of different functional groups in cluding ethers and epoxides, followed by conjugated pi systems including pericyclic reactions and aromatic (benzene-type) chemistry. After a brief look at ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, the course will continue with examination of structure, preparation, and reactivity of oxygen-containing functional groups within molecules. The approach used will incorporate orbital analysis (structure), electron distribution and flow (mechanism), reactions, and ultimately synthesis.

The amount of material to be covered is quite large, thus it is necessary that you keep up with the course lecture to lecture. In the summer, you will need to work at the course every day of the session as the typical 15-week semester is compressed to five weeks. Keeping up is most readily accomplished by reading the appropriate chapter prior to attending class. Keep a copy of the detailed lab and lecture schedules so that you know when things are due. Your ability to focus and be organized is absolutely crucial. Do not hesitate to ask questions in class, after class or during any office hour. Use of the study guide is helpful, but only if you first attempt the problems on your own.

Examinations, Homework & Chapter Coverage:
The lecture portion of your grade will be determined by your performance on four hourly examinations (400 pts), homework (Sapling; 100 pts), and quizzes (100 pts). We will cover chapters 10-22 in CHM 202. Chapter coverage will be selective. It is the student's responsibility to know what portions of chapters are not covered in lectures and thus not covered on exams.

The text contains an excellent set of problems. It is recommended that you solve the problems in the running text as you read the material (you should use a composition notebook for problems). The problems at the end of the chapters are excellent and can be used to fine tune your grasp of the material. You will also find many tutorials, practice problems from old exams on the website.

Sapling:

A schedule of homework problems can be found upon enrolling in Sapling. There will be several problem sets assigned throughout the semester. They will be posted roughly a week before they are due. These may take up to two hours to complete so do not start them at the last minute. You can save your work and come back to it at a later time. A very important new skill that you will continue to use is the ability to draw molecules using the template drawing tools supplied in pertinant questions. The first week , if you haven't already done so, The first week, if you haven't already done so , you should do the modules on “Drawing Tips”, “Curved Arrow Overview” and “Stereochemistry Training” so that you are familiar with nuances like subscripts, superscripts, drawing Lewis structures and structures of more elaborate organic molecules (sometimes in 3 dimensions), etc. After the due dates, the problems sets will remain open, but are closed to further credit.

Grades:
The course consists of both lecture (75%) and laboratory (25%). One cannot pass the course without passing both the lecture and the laboratory. The laboratory grade is determined solely by the laboratory instructor. Your final grade will be determined on your total number of earned points relative to those of your colleagues:

4 Hourly Exams	400 pts	50%
Sapling HW	75 pts	9.4%
Quizzes	120 pts	15.6%
Laboratory	200 pts	25%
Total	800 pts	100%

Final Grades:

Assessment of your performance on the various assignments will culminate in a letter grade (I do use +/- grade system).

Typically, a letter grade of A = 90-100; B = 80-89.9; C = 70-79.9; D = 60-69.9; F < 60.

Missed exams can only be made up with documentation for the absence and a note from your academic advisor.

This syllabus is a guide and every effort will be made to adhere to the contents. However, circumstances and events may make it necessary to modify the syllabus slightly during the semester depending on the progress made and needs of the students. Any changes will be made with plenty of advanced notice.

Below, you will find all of the powerpoint slides that will be used in this course. Occasionally, a sequence of slides will be skipped and those will not be covered on exams. You will also find links to problem sets, tutorials and other explanatory worksheets.
