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).
Class meetings: Tuesday, May 27-Thursday, Aug 31.
Lecture: 10:05-12:00 TTh; Recitation 12:10-12:50 TTh; Laboratory 2:00-3:55 TTh.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Textbook: Organic Chemistry, Carey, 5th Edition (McGraw-Hill, 2003).
Laboratory Text: Experimental Organic Chemistry, Gilbert & Martin, 3rd Edition, Saunders College Publishing (2002)
Supplements:
1. Study guide and solutions manual for Carey
2. Laboratory notebook
3. Molecular models (optional)
4. Safety glasses
5. Organic study cards (optional)
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.

LABORATORY NOTEBOOK FORMAT
Refer to section 1.4-1.7 (pages 4-13) 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 chromatogram phs and IR and NMR spectra in your notebook.
Preparative Format
1. Title, introduction
2. Balanced chemical equation (not mechanism).
3. Chemical equation(s) for important side reaction(s)
4. Table of chemicals (reactants, products, catalysts, solvents) (mol. form, MW, density, mp/bp, solubility in water, hazards)
5. Experimental procedure (synopsis in step form)
6. Observations (Record the actual amount of reagents used.) Be thorough.
7. Calculation of theoretical and percent yields
8. Discussion of results
Physical properties for chemicals can be found on the CD that came with your lab text, 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.
Additional spectra problems can be found at www.chem.ucla.edu/webspectra.
