Learning Outcomes
- safely handle laboratory glassware, equipment, chemicals, and generated waste in accordance with waste disposal and safety regulations.
- maintain a laboratory notebook according to course guidelines.
- practice basic laboratory techniques used for the preparation, purification, and separation of organic compounds and apply the laboratory techniques to single- and multi-step organic transformations.
- use instrumentation such as gas chromatographs, polarimeters, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers for the identification of organic compounds and interpret data acquired from these instruments.
- correlate organic chemistry theory with experimental outcomes.
- use experimental data to calculate reaction metrics such as yield and atom economy.
- use chemical information resources such as journals and search engines to conduct a literature search, organize and synthesize the information retrieved with experimental results, and report results in the quality and form of a scientific journal article.
- articulate and follow ethical principles in a scientific context, including professional standards of laboratory practice, sourcing literature information without plagiarism, and crediting collaborators.
