Document Summary
Chem 313 advanced organic chemistry for the life sciences 2010. Office hours: open (call, e-mail, see me after class, make an appointment, or just pop by) Ta: jon freeman will run two tutorials per week. Handouts: some notes will be posted on the web and/or handed out. These will be mostly definitions and other data. Breakdown: midterm 1: 10%; midterm 2: 15%; final: 50%; lab: 25%.

Delve into mechanisms to understand why/how reactions go the way they do. Compare and contrast chemists" and nature"s ways of puttting molecules together. Reviews: for any topic, you should review as needed. Read the relevant chapter or sections from your old textbook.
