Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:28:45
Abstract
Laboratory Course in Inorganic and Organic Chemistry I
Objective
Introduction into basic techniques used in the organic laboratory. Understanding organic reactions through experiments.
Content
Part I: Basic operations such as the isolation, purification and characterization of organic compounds: distillation, extraction, chromatography, crystallization, IR (UV/1H-NMR)-spectroscopy for the identification of the constituion of organic compounds. Part II: Organic reactions: preparative chemistry. From simple, one-step to multistep syntheses. Both classic and modern reactions will be performed. Part III: Preparation of a chiral, enantiomerically pure ligand for asymmetric catalysis (together with AOCP II)
