CHEM 321: Advanced Synthesis Laboratory

(1 Unit)
Prerequisites: CHEM 206, CHEM 212.
An exploration of advanced methods of chemical synthesis techniques in both organic and inorganic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on analysis of the synthetic products for purity and qualitative identification, using FT-NMR, FTIR, ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy. Further identification and analysis is done using HPLC, GC/MS, gas chromatography and LC/MS. Two four-hour laboratories per week. French, Harris, McCaffrey.
