CHEM 2212 — Organic Chemistry II Lab
Prerequisites: CHEM 2201 and CHEM 2211 Corequisite: CHEM 2202 A course designed to give the student hands-on laboratory experience with the concepts of CHEM 2202 and the use of experimental apparatuses and tech- niques in the practice of organic chemistry. Emphasis will be on microscale technique due to its safety and economy of time and resources as well as its frequent need in biochemical, natural product, environmental and pharmaceutical fields; however, some macroscale experiments may be performed. Experiments will generally cover experimentally the concepts studied in CHEM 2202 including Friedel-Crafts, nitration, and other electrophilic substitution reactions of the Course Descriptions aromatic ring; oxidation of alcohols; epoxidation of alkenes; preparation and reaction of organometallic compounds; the aldol condensation; and infrared and UV/visible spectrophotometry formation and reac- tion of carboxylic acids and their derivatives; amines; phenols; versatile synthetic techniques such as the ace- toacetic ester and malonic ester syntheses and aromatic diazonium salt reactions; carbohydrates; lipids; and proteins and other polymers. COLLEGE SUCCESS - COLL This is a performance based course comprised of two components designed: (1) to introduce students to basic computer skills, Microsoft Word, Excel, and Pow- erPoint, Internet, and LRC resources; (2) to increase student success in college by developing self-esteem, personal responsibility, self-motivation, resource man
