Methods used include selective precipitation, redox, and complex ion formation in solution. Principles affecting the rate and limit of reactions are stressed. Lectures and laboratory. Laboratory will stress one-step synthesis requiring various organic laboratory techniques. Lecture and laboratory.
Emphasis is on reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, and functional group characteristics.
Stress in the laboratory is on synthetic methods and techniques. Analysis of compounds is by classical and instrumental methods. Lecture and laboratory. Spectroscopy and chromatography are integrated into the lecture and laboratory. Analysis of compounds is by classical and instrumental methods.
