CHEM 5750 - Advanced Chemical Synthesis

This course provides a synthetic laboratory experience for undergraduates in conjunction with the CHEM 5700 and CHEM 5150 capstone courses. The fundamentals of synthetic techniques will be exercised through independent synthetic laboratory projects and detailed investigations of molecular structure using modern spectroscopic methods. Students will get hands-on experience with modern spectroscopic instrumentation and will learn to utilize the chemical literature and databases. It is strongly recommended that CHEM 5700 be taken before CHEM 5750 to prepare students for spectral interpretation.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisites: CHEM 3770, 3780, 4310, 5200 or permission of the instructor.
