Organic Synthesis Laboratory

Catalog description

In the second semester, students expand their synthetic skill set, and use NMR and IR to characterize and identify their products. This includes learning how to work in an inert atmosphere. The lab involves a multi-step organic synthesis project, which integrates transitional metal catalysis and organic synthesis. Identification of unknowns is critical to the laboratory experience. This course must be taken concurrently or after CHEM 229. Prerequisite: C or better in CHEM 228L.
