Principles of Organic Chemistry: Laboratory

This hands-on experimental laboratory course is intended to complement CHEM E-17. Practical applications of the reactions learned in CHEM E-17, such as those of carbonyls, amines, and aromatic structures, are expanded upon in the laboratory. In addition to performing reactions, students are introduced to purification techniques and spectroscopic analysis. Laboratory procedures include acid-base extraction, distillation, chromatography, and quantitative multi-step synthesis. Students may take either CHEM E-20l or CHEM E-17l and CHEM E-27l for degree or certificate credit, but not both.
