CHEM 244 - Organic Chemistry Laboratory II

Institution:

Henry Ford College

Subject:

Description:

Microscale glassware and analytical techniques are used in this followup course to CHEM 243. The primary focus of this course is multi-step organic syntheses and proper research techniques. Practical techniques from the previous course will be applied towards the synthesis of a novel polyaromatic exaphenylbenzene, an antibacterial drug sufanilamide, the flavoring agent cinnamic acid, and the fragrance 2'-bromostyrene. Products will be analyzed (melting point/boiling point, infrared analysis, chromatographic properties (TLC, GC), solubility, refractive index) and compared to literature values to verify their veracity. Research will involve a critical analysis of competitive synthetic methods. The sequence CHEM 241, 242 (Lecture I and II) and CHEM 243, 244 (Laboratory I and II) will transfer to all Michigan universities to meet their Organic Chemistry requirements for Science Majors. Approximately one hour of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 243 and CHEM 242 (CHEM 242 can be a co-requisite with instructor's permission). Note: Offered occasionally based on student demand.
