CY5023 : ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LABORATORY

Course Objectives: The learners should be able to:

Apply principles of separation and isolation techniques in organic reactions. Analyze NMR, IR and Mass spectra of organic compounds

Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course, the learners should be able to:

Separate and purify products in organic reactions

Characterize organic compounds using spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques

Course Contents:

Separation of two-component mixtures of organic compounds. Synthesis and isolation of organic compounds with an emphasis on different techniques of reaction set-up (air-sensitive, moisture-sensitive etc.), separation/purification (extraction, Soxhlet extraction, recrystallization, distillation, column chromatography) and monitoring of reaction by TLC, Structure determination of the isolated pure compounds by NMR spectroscopy, IR Spectroscopy and Mass spectrometry.
