Organic Chemistry I Laboratory

Catalog description

This is a laboratory companion course coordinated with CHM2011 Organic Chemistry I that introduces students to techniques and equipment used in experimental organic chemistry. Students use an inquiry-based approach to the discovery of the synthesis of organic compounds, compound characterization using analytical techniques, and the development and evaluation of separation protocols. Students also identify, when appropriate, the application of Green Chemistry procedures. Additionally, this laboratory course provides students with the opportunity to practice laboratory safety, design experimental procedures, collect data, analyze results and discuss conclusions.
