Organic Chemistry
The WVC Organic Chemistry classes (CHEM 261, 262, 263) are offered sequentially and
are taught in a new state-of-the-art lab facility.
These second-year chemistry course offerings are required for majors in agriculture,
biology, chemistry, chemistry teaching major, chiropractic, dentistry, medicine, optometry,
pharmacy, veterinary science and other Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM)
majors. The prerequisite for organic chemistry is successful completion of Wenatchee
Valley College's General Inorganic Chemistry (CHEM 161, 162, 163) or equivalent.
Take these courses at WVC and experience small lecture and laboratory sections that
allow daily interaction between students and instructor. Take advantage of WVC Chemistry
Department expertise in organic applications to pharmacy.
The first of a three-quarter sequence in organic chemistry for university transfer,
intended primarily for science majors and those fulfilling requirements for professional
health science careers such as medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. Topics include structure,
nomenclature, physical properties, reactions and synthesis of the main types of organic
compounds. Lab included. Prerequisites: CHEM& 163.
The second of a three-quarter sequence in organic chemistry for university transfer,
intended primarily for science majors and those fulfilling requirements for professional
health science careers such as medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. CHEM& 262 furthers
the development of the properties, transformations and identification of organic molecules.
