Course Description: 

 

This course is a continuation of basic organic chemistry.  Topics include nomenclature, structure and properties, synthesis and reaction mechanisms of basic organic chemistry, biochemistry and spectroscopy. Three hours of lecture, three hours of laboratory, and one hour of recitation per week.   

 

Test 1: Ch 11,12; Test 2: Ch 17 (some 14), 18; Test 3: Ch 19, 20; Test 4: Ch 22, 24;

Test 5: Steroids, Ch 25, 27.

 

Prerequisite:   CHM 211 (or equivalent).

Final Exam: 

Final Exam:  Tuesday, July 31; 10:30‑12:30

Textbook:                    Organic Chemistry, Carey, 4th Edition (McGraw-Hill, 2000).

 

Laboratory Text:           Experimental Organic Chemistry, Gilbert & Martin, 2nd Edition; Saunders College Publishing (1998)

 

Supplements:              1. Study guide and solutions manual for Carey

                                   2.  Laboratory notebook

3.  Molecular models (optional)

4.  Safety glasses

 

Attendance:                 The maximum allowable absences are twice the number of meetings per week (lecture or lab).

Students adding courses after classes begin are responsible for work covered from the first day of class.  All classes missed are counted as absences.

 

Grades:                       There will be five lecture tests to determine student competency. The final exam will be a retest of an unsatisfactory test outcome (at the option of the student).  These five test scores (the higher score is used if retested) comprise 75% of the course grade.

 

Laboratory performance and notebook comprise 25% of the grade.

 

A: 90-100, B: 80-89, C: 70-79, D: 60-69: F below 60

 

Course Objectives:      

 

Students will be provided with study guides for each test, which will give the objectives and proficiencies to be tested.

Students with disabilities requiring in-class accommodations should call the Counseling/Disabilities Resource Center at 738-7636.

 

LABORATORY NOTEBOOK FORMAT

 

Refer to section 1.2 (pages 4-14) of your laboratory textbook.  Start each experiment on a new page.  Write in ink (cross out mistakes, do not erase) and write only on the front side of a page.  Do not tear out pages. Simply X out any page to be ignored. Write the date of the experiment and cite the section of the textbook used.  Tape gas chromatographs and IR and NMR spectra in your notebook.

 

Investigative Format

  1. Title
  2. Introduction (as described in your text)
  3. Table of chemicals used  (Headings:  name, molecular formula/MW, density, melting point and/or boiling point, solubility in water).
  1. Experimental procedure (synopsis in step form).
  2. Observations (the heart of your notebook, be prolific) (includes data and

sensory observations, e.g. color change, foaming, knocked over flask)

  1. Calculations
  2. Discussion of results

 

Preparative Format

 

  1. Title, introduction
  2. Balanced chemical equation (not mechanism).  Equations for important side reactions.
  3. Chemical equation(s) for important side reaction(s)
  4. Table of chemicals (reactants, products, catalysts, solvents) (same headings as above)
  5. Experimental procedure (synopsis in step form)
  6. Observations  (Record the actual amount, both weight and moles, of reagents used)
  7. Calculation of theoretical and percent yields

8.  Discussion of results

 

Physical properties for chemicals can be found on the Internet at http://chemfinder.com. or in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics or Merck Index which are found in the library or the laboratory.
