The experiments will build on knowledge obtained from sophomore organic chemistry. The curriculum integrates techniques, organic synthesis, purification and spectroscopic analysis. Observational skills and record keeping are also emphasized. The lab curriculum includes experiments with the student s data summarized in a formal lab report. Four experiments will be done, emphasizing the importance of metal-catalyzed reactions in modern organic synthesis. The course has one weekly lecture (required, every week) and two 3-hour lab periods held on alternating weeks. The A lecture goes together with the A labs and the B lecture goes together with the B labs. Section A labs meet on odd-numbered weeks and section B labs meet on even-numbered weeks.
