CHEM 333 - Advanced Organic Chemistry Lab

Unit(s): 4

This course builds on the principles and techniques learned in the year-long organic chemistry laboratory for the synthesis, purification, and characterization of organic compounds. In addition to providing further experience with basic lab techniques (e.g., thin-layer chromatography, extraction, distillation), this course introduces advanced techniques including inert-atmosphere manipulations (e.g., syringe, vacuum manifold,), low temperature set-ups, flash column chromatography and computational modeling. The course also provides a forum to learn sophisticated principles of spectral interpretation (2D NMR) and how to write an American Chemical Society manuscript.

Prerequisite: CHEM 231 with a minimum grade of C and CHEM 233 with a minimum grade of C or CHEM 234 with a minimum grade of C
