CHEM 258 - Organic Chemistry Laboratory II

1 Credit(s)

This laboratory course is devoted to the synthesis and characterization of organic molecules using traditional qualitative and modern instrumental methods (IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, and UV-Vis). The course culminates with the students working in groups to devise a multistep synthesis of pharmaceutically or industrially relevant molecules. There is an emphasis on the use of greener reagents in the design of the multistep syntheses.
