CHEM 225 Organic Chemistry II Lab for Molecular Sciences

1 semester hours

Organic Chemistry Laboratory for students interested in the molecular sciences, including biochemistry, chemistry, molecular biology, chemical physics, and chemical engineering. Laboratory experience in multistep synthesis of compounds as well as opportunity for participation in course-based original research projects. Additional emphasis on techniques for determining molecular structure and quantitative sample purity: nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, gas and liquid chromatography, as well as uses of standard compounds. Skills in experimental design and troubleshooting as well as laboratory independence will be cultivated.

Lecture and laboratory, 4 hours.

Prerequisites: CHEM 221 and CHEM 222 or concurrent enrollment.
