Title
Traditional Organic Reactions
Learning Outcome
Perform a broad range of traditional organic reactions at the micro scale including: nucleophilic carbonyl additions, hydroboration, nucleophilic acyl substitution, electrophilic aromatic substitution, [4 2] cycloaddition, and photochemical alkene isomerization.
Title
Organic Chemistry Techniques
Learning Outcome
Implement fundamental organic chemistry techniques for carrying out basic experiments, and purifying products, at the micro scale including: extraction, distillation, recrystalization, column chromatography, and TLC.
Title
Form Conclusions
Learning Outcome
Make correct conclusions about the outcome of experiments after collecting basic physical data, and after providing unambiguous interpretation of the necessary spectra.
