The second semester of Organic Chemistry builds on the foundations learned in first semester and introduces new practical reactions and molecules that you will see in subsequent courses. We will go in-depth with stuctures such as sugars and amino acids and talk about reactions at carbon centers beta to carbonyls, topics which will be seen time and time again in Biochemistry. In addition, we will learn more about how molecular structure and electronics influence reactions, laying the groundwork for Physical Chemistry.
