Organic Chemistry Laboratory 1
This laboratory course is designed to accompany the content of the following lecture courses: CHEM 264 and CHEM 265 through a series of experiments reflecting the following areas of study: acid-base chemistry, substitution and elimination reactions, organometallic reagents, reductions, carboxylic acid derivatives, and aromatic compounds. The main objective of this laboratory course is to expose students to various organic chemistry laboratory techniques on both the macro- and microscale, such as: boiling point determination, melting point determination, thin layer chromatography, distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, using a delivery pipette, recrystallization, microwave-assisted reactions, Infrared (IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). There are a few textbooks that complement the material of this laboratory course (see resources). All lab content can be found on LEARN.
