About this Unit
Students studying at Hawkesbury or Parramatta campus should refer to 300301 - Organic Chemistry 2. This unit introduces organic chemistry from a biological and pharmaceutical perspective, emphasising the structure & reactivity of biological molecules as organic molecules and functional group manipulation as a tool for drug design and synthesis. Appropriate practical skills to achieve this are learnt in the associated practical work.
