CHEM 29B: Organic Chemistry Laboratory IIInstructor: Mustafa Yatin Prerequisites: A satisfactory grade (C- or better) in CHEM 29a or the equivalent. Corequisite: CHEM 25b. Dropping CHEM 25b necessitates written permission from lab instructor to continue with this course. May yield half-course credit toward rate of work and graduation. Two semester-hour credits. Course Description: CHEM 29B is a continuation of CHEM 29A. The CHEM 29b course provides continuing experience in laboratory techniques of synthesis, isolation, and purification of organic compounds. Experimental procedures reported in the current literature are adapted in the lab to prepare molecules of biological significance. Modern methods, such as microwave-accelerated organic synthesis, are introduced. Spectroscopic methods are used to analyze compound identity and purity. Introduction of NMR theory in lecture and application in the laboratory to characterize and identify organic structures. We will particularly emphasize the green chemistry principles in the context of organic reactions and experiments.
