Biology and Chemistry Professor Dennis Awasabisah works with students in his Organic Chemistry I Lab in the Antonucci Science Complex. The course covers topics such as structure, functional groups, stereochemistry, nomenclature and reactions of organic compounds. Reactions of carbonyl compounds and carboxylic acids and their derivatives are covered in detail including nucleophilic addition, condensation and nucleophilic substitution with special emphasis on reaction mechanisms and stereochemical outcomes.
