Welcome to Dr. Shaughnessy's CH 232 homepage. This site will serve as a repository for all class materials, announcements, and a source of resources to help you succeed in organic chemistry. I would encourage you to use this site, as many students have found it to be a valuable resource.

Learning Objectives: Students in this class will:

  • determine structures of organic molecules using NMR and IR spectroscopy
  • understand the properties and reactivity of important functional groups including conjugated π-systems, aromatic compounds, alcohols, amines, and carbonyl compounds
  • learn important spectroscopic signatures of aromatic compounds, alcohols, amines, and carbonyl compounds
  • be able to write detailed mechanisms for important reaction classes: electrophilic aromatic substitution and carbonyl nucleophilic addition reactions
  • be able to plan multi-step syntheses of organic compounds  

Materials for CH 232

All of the materials below should be availabe at the Supe Store and the off-campus bookstores. You may purchase the books and OWL access codes directly from Cengage.

  • Textbook (required): Organic Chemistry, 6th Ed., Brown, Foote, Iverson, and Anslyn
  • OWL Access Code (required): This code will come with your textbook if bought new at a UA-affiliated bookstore. If you did not get a code with your text, you can purchase one here. Instructions for registering your code will posted soon.
  • Study Guide (optional): Organic Chemistry: Study Guide and Solution Manual, 6th Ed, Iverson and Iverson
  • Molecular Model set (optional): Indigo Foundation Molecular Model Set. Any organic molecular model set would be fine.
