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
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. safely handle laboratory glassware, equipment, chemicals, and generated waste in accordance with waste disposal and safety regulations.
2. maintain a laboratory notebook according to course guidelines.
3. 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. 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.
5. correlate organic chemistry theory with experimental outcomes.
6. use experimental data to calculate reaction metrics such as yield and atom economy.
7. use chemical information resources such as journals and search engines to conduct a literature search, organize and synthesize the information retrieved with experimental results, and report results in the quality and form of a scientific journal article.
8. articulate and follow ethical principles in a scientific context, including professional standards of laboratory practice, sourcing literature information without plagiarism, and crediting collaborators.
