Cursusdoel

After completing the course, students are able to:
- Connect the practical execution of an organic chemical synthesis with the underlying theory.
- Convert a description of an organic chemical synthesis in the literature into a concrete working plan.
- Execute this very working plan in a successful, safe and responsible way.
- Establish the identity and purity of the isolated product with spectroscopic methods.
- Write a report about the conducted experiment.

Vakinhoudelijk

This module makes the practical part of the UU course SK-BORC13 accessible to UCU students. It is meant for students who want to follow a chemistry track and want to improve their experimental organic chemical skills. The students perform 2 or 3 organic syntheses (depending on the number of students enrolled), which involve advanced laboratory techniques like working in an inert atmosphere and working with highly reactive and/or hazardous chemicals. Furthermore, students learn how to convert literature procedures into their own synthesis plan, how to isolate and purify a reaction product and how to analyse the product. Scientific reporting also forms part of the course.

This course prepares students better for UCSCICHET1 Science Research Thesis -Chemistry, and will also be helpful in UCSCICHE31 Chemistry for Sustainability and UCSCICHE32 Medicinal Chemistry.

Schedule: the last weeks of period 2 at UU (typically, the last week before and the first weeks after the Christmas break) which partly matches the UCU winter break. The lab organization of the Chemistry department is quite flexible in allocating time slots for students, so that it is not expected that scheduling the experiments will lead to problems.

Attendance
Due to the short duration and intensive nature of the lab course, 100% attendance is required.
