Instructor: Sinead Walsh

Prerequisites: A satisfactory grade (C- or better) in CHEM 25a and CHEM 29a or the equivalent. Corequisite: CHEM 25b. Dropping CHEM 25b necessitates written permission from the lab instructor to continue with this course.

Course Description: This course is a continuation of CHEM 29A with an emphasis on the synthesis of organic compounds, structure determination, and scientific communication. Techniques learned in CHEM 29A are utilized to synthesize, isolate, and analyze organic molecules. From the start of CHEM 29B, students are expected to be competent in all techniques learned in CHEM 29A. Consider reviewing these concepts and techniques prior to relevant experiments throughout the semester.
