Multi-step synthesis is emphasized. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of organic concepts as needed to pursue further study in chemistry and related professional fields. Laboratory experiments, including spectroscopy and chromotography, and computer-based exercises augment and reinforce the basic principles discussed in lecture as well as provide practical examples. This course introduces classical methods of chemical analysis with an emphasis on laboratory techniques. Upon completion, students should be able to perform classical quantitative analytical procedures.
Laboratory exercises in the various classical techniques enhance and reinforce lecture material.
