CHEM 348 - Laboratory Techniques of Organic Chemistry II (2 units)
Continuation of CHEM 347 with emphasis on synthetic techniques and spectroscopic characterization.
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 242 or CHEM 342 (prerequisite or corequisite); CHEM 347 .
Units of Laboratory/Studio: 2
Offered Every Spring
Student Learning Outcomes (if available):
Upon completion of this course:
1. Students will be able to safely handle laboratory glassware, equipment, chemicals, and generated waste in accordance with waste disposal and safety regulations.
2. Students will be able to maintain a laboratory notebook according to course guidelines.
3. Students will be able to practice basic laboratory techniques used for the preparation, purification, and separation of organic compounds and apply the laboratory techniques to single- and multi-step organic transformations.
4. Students will be able to use instrumentation such as gas chromatographs, polarimeters, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers for the identification of organic compounds and interpret data acquired from these instruments.
