NMR and CMR Lecture Notes

The course text is Organic Chemistry, 8th Edition, by T. W. Graham Solomons and Craig B. Fryhle. It's published by John Wiley. Reading assignments from this text are shown in the course's Outline of Learning Activities that you will receive on the first day of class.

In addition to this, there are two other excellent texts on reserve in the library:

• Organic Chemistry, by Morrison and Boyd
• Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry, by Roberts and Caserio

The laboratory manual for this course is Laboratory Exercises for Organic Chemistry II, by R. A. Gangi. Laboratory exercises from this manual are scheduled to be performed as indicated in the course's Outline of Learning Activities.


MOLECULAR MODEL SET

The Molecular Model Set for Organic Chemistry from Allyn & Bacon will be used in the course. It is available, along with the text, in the College Book Store. Please bring this model set to class and to exams.

CD-ROM SOFTWARE

There is CD-ROM computer software available for some of the material in this course. This is indicated with a check mark in the last column of the course's Outline of Learning Activities. A list of this SUGGESTED COMPUTER SOFTWARE FOR ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II is included below. If you are having difficulties with some of the course material (and even if you're not!) it would be worth your while to study using this software.

This software can be viewed in room 603 of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) - the building to the left of the College Bookstore. A 3-1/2" disk with most of the same material is on reserve in the College Library. If you have a computer at home you may wish to check this out for a short period of time. The College Bookstore also has copies of these for sale.

Your instructor will give you a set of INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE FOR ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. The procedure will also be demonstrated in class.

Under the heading "Reading Assignment" in the course's Outline of Learning Activities, you will sometimes find a letter in addition to page numbers in the texts. These letters refer to video tapes whose titles appear below. This material, which is available at the AV Center in the Library, must be viewed prior to the class indicated in the outline.
