An introductory structural survey of the most commonly encountered organic functional groups that are present in carbon compounds, emphasizing their significance in biologically important molecules (lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, steroids, and other types of natural products). Stereochemistry and the fundamental principles behind essential organic reaction mechanisms will be stressed throughout. Some basic definitions and nomenclature will be introduced.

Prerequisites: CHE191 and CHE192 or Collegial Chemistry NYA and NYB.
