CHM314 Organic Chemistry II Lab

[0–3, 1 cr.]

This course is an advanced organic chemistry lab course that utilizes the techniques learned in CHM313, in order to synthesize and study the properties and reactivities of functional groups. Experiments conducted include nitration of aromatic compounds, Suzuki coupling, aldol condensation, Diels-Alder reaction and Friedel Crafts acylation. The synthesis of dyes and natural products are also investigated in addition to conducting quantum chemical calculations using Gaussian software.

Pre- or Co-requisite: CHM312 Organic Chemistry II or PHY312 Organic Materials II
