| 26472 Organic Synthesis, laboratory course |
| Danish title: Organisk syntese, laboratoriekursus |
|
Language: Danish ECTS-creditpoints: 5
|
|
| Recommended semester: 3rd semester |
| Scope and form: Laboratory course |
Evaluation: Approval of coursework/reports
Nine syntheses and the corresponding report sheets must be approved |
| Examination: Pass/fail |
| Previous course: 91323 |
| Compulsory: 26372 |
| Prerequisites: 26370, 26470 |
| Aim: The aim of the course is an introduction to the practical aspects of organic synthesis, thereby illuminating several of the theoretical subjects dealt with in 26470. |
Contents: After a number of introductory exercises, each student performs 9 small-scale syntheses. Generally the nine selected types of reaction are: 1) Bromination, 2) Alkyl halide formation, 3) Esterification, 4) Hydrolysis of an ester or amide, 5) Nitration, 6) Reduction, 7) Oxidation, 8) Diazotization, 9) Friedel-Crafts reaction, 10) Grignard reaction.
The experiments are based on standard laboratory techniques. Each exercise involves stoichiometric computations, consultation of the authorized register of hazardous chemicals ("Risk-statements"), as well as a simple examination in the theoretical aspects of the exercise. Products are analysed by standard methods. In addition selected samples are analysed by TLC, GC, IR- and NMR-spectroscopy.
In order to fulfill the requirements of the course, written reports on all exercises must be approved. |
