Title

CHEM 121 Organic Chemistry I                                                    
An introduction to the fundamental principles of organic chemistry including molecular structure, chemical bonding, functional groups, nomenclature, stereochemistry, basic organic reactions, and modern spectroscopy for structural characterization. Three lecture periods and two three-hour laboratory periods per week are required. Prerequisite: C- or better in both CHEM 025 and 027.

CHEM 123 Organic Chemistry II                                                     
This course is a continuation of CHEM 121 with an emphasis on organic synthesis and mechanisms. The reactions of aromatics, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, and carbohydrates are covered. The course also touches on polymers and biological molecules including amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Three lecture periods and two three-hour laboratory periods per week are required. Prerequisite: C- or better in CHEM 121.

CHEM 23 Elements of Chemistry                                                     
Elements of Chemistry is a one-semester freshman course in college chemistry designed to provide a solid foundation of chemical concepts and calculations for the two-semester general chemistry course.

CHEM 25 General Chemistry I                                                      
The major purpose of general chemistry (I) is to introduce fundamental concepts and principles of modern chemistry, which is a foundation of organic chemistry, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry, etc. The lecture will highlight the key information of general chemistry and will contain materials that complement and exceed the textbook.

CHEM 27 General Chemistry II                                                      
The major purpose of general chemistry (II) is to introduce fundamental concepts and principles of modern chemistry, which is a foundation of organic chemistry, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry, etc. The lecture will highlight the key information of general chemistry and will contain materials that complement and exceed the textbook.

CHEM 35 Organic Chemistry Primer                                                     
This is a preparatory course for further studies in Organic Chemistry. We will introduce nomenclature of basic hydrocarbons and molecules with important functional groups. We will describe basic types of reactions and illustrate them with examples concerning different functional groups.

PCSP242/CHEM158 Advanced Organic Chemistry/Selected Topics/Nucleic Acid Chemistry (Graduate Course)                                                     
This course is to introduce students a broad range of knowledge on nucleic acid chemistry in current research fields.
