Organic Chemistry II Lab

Catalog description

This Organic Chemistry II Laboratory course is a continuation of the Organic Chemistry I Laboratory course. Students who complete the course are able to correlate, for the different functional groups studied, the molecular structure with common chemical and physical properties (such as solubility, reactivity, boiling and melting points). Students are able to characterize and elucidate structures using chemical and spectroscopic techniques. Students are able to characterize organic compounds based on physical and chemical properties (such as polarimetry, FT-IR spectroscopy, 1H FT-NMR and other spectroscopic data) and purify organic compounds by physical methods such as chromatography, recrystallization, solvent extraction, sublimation, distillation, etc. Co-requisite or Prerequisite: CHEM-SHU 226 . Fulfillment: Chemistry Additional Required Courses.
