CHEM 3381: Majors Laboratory for Organic Chemistry II

This lab course is for chemistry majors. Non-chemistry majors can also take this course if they wish. This course meets twice a week and is worth 2 credit hours.

This new version of CHEM 3381 is a continuation of the nonmajors organic 1 lab (CHEM 3321) and nonmajors organic 2 lab (CHEM 3341). Techniques learned in 3321/3341 are expanded upon in more detail, and new techniques are covered including new methods of characterization, microwave chemistry, large-scale column chromatography, and literature searches. Many new reactions are performed, including Grubbs metathesis and palladium coupling. The capstone project for this course is a four-week independent synthesis project chosen by the students, following a procedure from literature. You will write a paper about your synthesis and present your work to the class.

The course syllabus and TA office hours and emails are available on this website. Course documents will be posted on Canvas.
