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.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisites: Junior standing and 12 hours of work in chemistry, including CHEM 3770, CHEM 3780, CHEM 4310, and CHEM 5200 (with minimum grade of “C” or better in all courses); or instructor approval. It is strongly recommended that CHEM 5700 be taken before CHEM 5750 to prepare students for spectral interpretation.

Credits: 2 hours

Notes: Open to Upperclass and Graduate students.
When Offered: Spring
