Introduction to Organic Laboratory Techniques
by Pavia, Lampman, and Kriz

Course Objectives:
This course applies the basic organic chemistry laboratory techniques that were developed in the first semester to more challenging problems in synthesis and characterization. The relevance of Organic Chemistry to daily life, and its ubiquitous nature is presented through interesting essays and lectures. Analytical instrumentation for the identification of compounds is further developed, and students obtain experience with polarimetry, refractometry, HPLC, UV, IR, GC, GC/MS, and NMR spectrometry. Students will improve their ability to write lab reports and maintain a clear and well-organized lab notebook.

Requirements:
1. Complete reading assignments prior to class.

2. Write a pre-lab prior to class in the lab notebook which should include:
a.) Title of expt., name of student, date of expt.
b.) Summary of Experiment and Essay readings
c.) Purpose
d.) Procedure and relevant equations, formula, chemical structures and data

3. In the Lab:
a.) Wear safety goggles at all times in the lab. (Contact lenses are not allowed in lab)
b.) Accurately record data and observations and provide an analysis of the data.
c.) Hand in carbon copies of the lab writeup at the end of the period.
d.) Clean up

Grading Procedure
The total lab points are summed and converted to percent to obtain the final grade. In addition to lab reports, each lab period will count 10 points to reflect laboratory technique and safety, including preparation and clean up.
