KEMS548 Advanced Laboratory Work in Organic Chemistry (1–10 cr)

Advanced practical laboratory work in organic synthesis and structural chemistry consist of synthesis and analytical work of organic chemistry and instrumental analysis, multi-phased synthesis with laboratory book keeping on the progress of the synthesis.

After the course the student knows the basic analytical techniques in organic synthesis and structural chemistry. The aim of the course is to give information how to use different synthesis and analytical methods. The student is able to use different analytical methods in the structural elucidation of an unknown compound. Student knows how to use modern synthesis procedures. The student will learn how to use advanced laboratory techniques and handling. The student is able to carry out modern organic synthesis with confidence and in such a way as to maximize the chance of success.

Working life skills

• Students master safe working in the laboratory.
• The student's interaction skills develop in teamwork.
• Students are able to take responsibility for their own work and scheduling.
• Students will develop a deeper understanding of organic chemistry synthesis techniques, structural analysis of synthesis products, and other structural analysis in chemistry.

Advanced laboratory work on organic chemistry includes an information lecture before starting work. The lecture will be held during the fall semester.
