177 Course Descriptions 2018-2019 Catalog Chemistry - Child Development 28A ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I 3 units, 3 lecture hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 1B. ADVISORIES: English 1A. This course is a study of the structures, properties, nomenclature and reactions of organic compounds with emphasis on reaction mechanisms. The course is recommended for students whose major is chemistry, premedical, predental, prepharmacy, biology, biochemistry or chemical engineering. The following topics are included: stereochemistry, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, alcohols, amines, ethers, epoxides, aromatics, and organometallic compounds, resonance and conjugation, kinetic and thermodynamic control of reactions, multistep syntheses, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy.

ADVISORIES: English 1A. This is the second semester in a year-long course in organic chemistry designed for students majoring in chemistry and related disciplines, such as premedical, prepharmacy, predental, biology, biochemistry or chemical engineering. It covers the study of several groups of compounds in organic chemistry including aromatic compounds, benzene derivatives, carbonyl compounds, amines, amino acids, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each group is analyzed in terms of their structure, physical properties, nomenclature, reactions and reaction mechanisms. Also included are the oxidation-reduction of organic functional groups and protecting groups in multistep syntheses.

Chemistry 29A is the first of two laboratory courses in organic chemistry, and as such it is primarily concerned with introducing the tools and techniques that chemists use to investigate the nature of organic compounds. Students will learn a variety of isolation and purification techniques such as recrystallization, liquid-liquid extraction, distillation (simple, fractional, steam), and chromatography (solid and gas phase). Students will also synthesize organic compounds and characterize their purified products using melting point determination and FTIR analysis. Gas chromatography, boiling point, refractometry, polarimetry, and NMR will also be utilized in this course.

COREQUISITES: Chemistry 28B. ADVISORIES: English 1A. Chemistry 29B is the second of two laboratory courses in organic chemistry, and as such it is primarily concerned with introducing intermediate level techniques used in organic chemistry. Although many of the familiar, introductory techniques from 29A will be used in 29B also, additional methods of analysis such as NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and computational methods will be utilized. In CHEM 29B students will carry out multi-step syntheses, and additional emphasis will be placed on problem solving, application of theory, and structural identification.

An examination of the underlying theoretical principles of developmentally appropriate practices applied to programs and environments. These principles include emphasizing the key role of relationships, constructive adult-child interactions, and teaching strategies in supporting physical, social, creative and intellectual development for children. This course includes a review of the historical roots of early childhood programs and the evolution of the professional practices promoting advocacy, ethics and professional identity.
