CHEM 256 - Organic Chemistry Laboratory II


CHEM 256A, Organic Chemistry Laboratory II:

This is a continuation of CHEM 255  with emphasis on organic structure determination and organic synthesis. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are introduced. Laboratory, one 5-hour session per week; discussion session, 1 hour per week. The 7 weeks of this laboratory (42 lab hours) comprise the 1 credit that is required for a chemistry major. Offered first half of the semester. Students may take CHEM 231  either prior to enrollment in or concurrently with the class.

 

CHEM 256B, Organic Chemistry Laboratory Independent Project:

This 7-week (42 lab hours) section is an optional continuation of CHEM 256A to be taken in the same semester. In CHEM 256B, students will search the chemical literature, write a proposal, and execute an independent synthetic project. Students will grow in independence and autonomy and gain appreciation for authentic research while developing new skills such as reaction design, spectroscopic analysis, and the purification and characterization of mixtures. Offered last half of the semester. Students may take CHEM 231  either prior to enrollment in or concurrently with the class.
