CHE 3230 - Organic Chemistry Lab

Course Description: Laboratory course to accompany CHE 3326 and CHE 3327. This course introduces the practice of experimental Organic Chemistry involving basic laboratory techniques, technologies and principles for the preparation of organic compounds. Students will acquire practical experiences, and application skills for the isolation and characterization of organic compounds using modern instrumentation, including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Infrared (IR), and Mass Spectrometry (MS), and Gas and Liquid Chromatographic (GC and LC) instruments. Students will also learn proper laboratory practices, including safety, record keeping, and effective communication through written reports. The class will meet for six-hours (two three-hour laboratory periods) each week.

Pre-Requisites: A “C-” or better in CHE 3326. Co-requisite(s): CHE 3327.
