Learning Outcomes
- practice methods of natural product isolation and advanced synthesis.
- operate hands-on the GC-MS, HPLC-MS, NMR, UV-Vis, IR, and other instruments.
- work in a laboratory without stepwise instructions.
- improve scientific writing through preparing laboratory reports.
- prove de novo the structure of organic molecules from real data.
- discriminate between sound and unsound interpretation of data and employ cogent reasoning methods in the examination of experimental results.
- design and perform a series of spectroscopic experiments and interpret the data to provide full structural determination, including stereochemistry.
