Oregon State University sophomore organic chemistry sequence - Chemistry 331, 332 and 337 - is an upper-level sequence for students in a variety of science and health-related fields.  Students aspiring to careers in dentistry, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, chemical engineering, as well as students not majoring in chemistry, require these additional chemistry training courses in their program of study.  The courses in the sequence must be taken in order. One year of college chemistry is required before enrollment, which you can complete online through our General Chemistry sequence. CH 130 does not meet the prerequisites for this course. 

• CH 331 Organic Chemistry (4)
  Topics include: Review of general chemistry; acids and bases; alkanes and cycloalkanes; stereochemistry; alkenes; alkynes and alkyl halides.
  For more information and before registering, please review the general information, course prerequisites and overrides.
  
   
• CH 332 Organic Chemistry (4)
  Topics include: Alcohols and ethers; aldehydes and ketones; carbohydrates; carboxylic acids and esters; aromaticity; electrophilic aromatic substitution; and spectroscopy (IR and NMR). 
  For more information and before registering, please review the general information, course prerequisites and overrides.
  
   
• CH 337 Organic Chemistry Laboratory (4)
  Lecture topics include: Enol and enolate chemistry; radical chemistry; chemistry of amines and amides; amino acids, peptides and proteins.
  
  Laboratory topics include: Isolation of trimyristin from nutmeg; synthesis of salicylic acid; simple and fractional distillations of a methanol/water mixture; synthesis of E,E-dibenzalacetone; synthesis of benzoic acid; isolation of lactose from non-fat milk; isolation of green-leaf pigments from spinach; dehydration of 2-butanol; dehydrohalogenation of 2-bromobutane; associated laboratory techniques.
  
  Chemistry 337 incorporates the sequence’s sole lab component and is offered only during Summer Session in two separate formats:

1. 1. Session 5: fully on-site three week format
   2. Session 3: blended online/on-site six week format.  Weeks 1, 2, 5 and 6 are online.  The lab component is administered through a mandatory two week on-site visit to the OSU campus during weeks 3 and 4.
