Spring 2015
Course Description: This laboratory course provides experience in basic techniques for the preparation, isolation, purification, interconversion, and determination of physical properties of the common classes of organic compounds. The students are also introduced to synthetic design and Green Chemistry. Corequisite: CHEM 255
Course Goals: Students will: 1) be familiar with the basic techniques of isolation and purification of organic compounds; 2) be able to determine the physical properties (mp, bp, refractive index, IR) of the common classes of organic compounds; 3) be able to take an experimental procedure from the literature and reproduce the experiment; 4) be able to obtain and interpret IR spectra ; 5) understand the principles of Green Chemistry; 6) design a synthetic scheme using classical organic reactions and green chemistry reactions; 7) work safely in the laboratory; 8) use chemicals without harming the environment; 9) recognize how chemistry relates to other disciplines and to societal issues.
