Liberal Arts
This is a two-semester laboratory course designed to accompany the year-long organic chemistry lecture course (CHEM 211L-CHEM 212L) that provides students with hands-on experience. Students will learn a variety of important organic chemistry laboratory techniques in the context of purification and purity assessment, and these techniques are integrated into future labs of increasing complexity. Students will carry out selected reactions studied in lecture, with an emphasis on the purification and characterization of products. Scientific writing is emphasized throughout. One three-hour laboratory per week. Organic Chemistry Laboratory I Every fall; Organic Chemistry Laboratory II Every spring.

Offered When: Every fall
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 215 (for CHEM 216L)
Corequisite(s): CHEM 211L (for CHEM 215); CHEM 212L (for CHEM 216L)
