110. This course will build upon the chemical fundamentals that were covered in the first semester to introduce organic chemistry as well as its physical basis. Topics to be covered include the structure and reactivity of organic compounds. An emphasis on biologically relevant structures will highlight an interdisciplinary presentation. Larry W. McLaughlin CH 119-120 Modern Chemistry Laboratory I and II (Fall: 1) Lab fee required Laboratory required for all students enrolled in CH 117-118. This laboratory course stresses discovery-based experiments. It uses state-of-the-art instrumentation to illustrate the principles discussed in CH 117-118, and introduces students to techniques used in modern chemical research. One three-hour period per week. David L. McFadden CH 121-122 Modern Chemistry Discussion I and II (Fall/Spring: 0) Required of all students in CH 117. Discussion of lecture topics and problem-solving methods in small groups. The Department CH 161 Life Science Chemistry (Fall: 3) Corequisite: CH 163 This course first introduces basic chemical principles, in preparation for a discussion of the chemistry of living systems that forms the major part of the course. Organic chemical concepts will be introduced as necessary, and applications will be made wherever possible to physiological processes and disease states that can be understood in terms of their underlying chemistry. Kenneth R. Metz CH 163 Life Science Chemistry Laboratory (Fall: 1) Lab fee required A laboratory course that includes experiments illustrating chemical principles and the properties of compounds consistent with CH 161. The Department CH 222 Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry (Spring: 3) Prerequisites: CH 109-110 Corequisite: CH 224 Topics include the following: principles of structure and bonding, ionic and covalent bonding, acid-base concepts, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry in biological systems. William H. Armstrong CH 224 Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (Spring: 1) Lab fee required Laboratory required of all students enrolled in CH 222. One four-hour period per week. William H. Armstrong CH 231-232 Organic Chemistry I and II (Fall/Spring: 3) Prerequisites: CH 109-110, CH 231, CH 233 Corequisites: CH 233, CH 235, CH 234, CH 236 An introduction to the chemistry, properties, and uses of organic compounds. The correlation of structure with properties, reaction mechanisms, and the modern approach to structural and synthetic problems are stressed throughout. In the laboratory, the aim is acquisition of sound experimental techniques through the synthesis of selected compounds. T. Ross Kelly Lawrence T. Scott CH 233-234 Organic Chemistry Laboratory I and II (Fall/Spring: 1) Lab fee required Laboratory required of all students enrolled in CH 231-232. One four-hour period per week. The Department CH 235-236 Organic Chemistry Discussion I and II (Fall/Spring: 0) Required of all students in CH 231-232. Discussion of organic synthesis design, spectroscopic analysis, reaction mechanisms and other lecture topics in small groups. The Department CH 241-242 Honors Organic Chemistry I and II (Fall/Spring: 3) Prerequisites: CH 117-118 Corequisites: CH 233, CH 245 Registration with instructors approval only. This course is a continuation of the CH 117-118 honors sequence and will concentrate on the structure, bonding and reactivity of organic compounds. Particular emphasis will be placed on stereochemistry, conformational analysis, reaction mechanisms, principles of organic synthesis, and modern spectroscopic methods. T. Ross Kelly CH 245-246 Honors Organic Chemistry Discussion I and II (Fall/Spring: 0) Required of all students in CH 241. Discussion of organic synthesis design, spectroscopic analysis, reaction mechanisms, and other lecture topics in small groups. The Department CH 351 Analytical Chemistry (Fall: 4) Prerequisites: CH 109-110 Corequisites: CH 353, CH 355 This course is an introduction to the principles and practice of analytical chemistry, including wet chemical methods and instrumental methods. In the laboratory, the aim is the acquisition of precise analytical techniques. Kenneth R. Metz CH 353 Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (Fall: 0) Lab fee required Laboratory required of all students enrolled in CH 351. One four-hour period per week. Kenneth R. Metz CH 355 Analytical Chemistry Discussion (Fall: 0) Required of all students in CH 351. Discussion of lecture topics and problem-solving methods, in small groups. Kenneth R. Metz CH 391 Undergraduate Research I and II (Fall/Spring: 3) Prerequisites: CH 109-110 Arrangement with an individual faculty member and departmental permission are required. CH 591-592 or CH 593-594 cannot be taken concurrently. Sophomores or juniors who show exceptional ability may engage in an independent research project under the supervision of a faculty member. The experimental work will be preceded by library research on the project and training in essential laboratory techniques. The Department The Boston College Catalog 2005-2006 73 ARTS AND SCIENCES
