Organic Chemistry 1 Lab

Catalog description

This course will introduce fundamental organic chemistry laboratory techniques utilizing primarily microscale chemical reactions. Various skills will be developed, such as synthetic methods, purification methods (distillation, extraction, recrystallization, chromatography) and analytical techniques. The concepts of organic chemistry will be put into practice via the synthesis and study of materials of common use and theoretical interest. CHM 223 is to be taken concurrently, except by permission of the department chair.
