CHEM - 450. Synthesis and Characterization

2 credit(s)
This course covers the synthesis, characterization and physical properties of organic compounds. Multistep synthesis of complex targets of current interest will be discussed, including aspects of chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity. The course will also cover the characterization of organic molecules including NMR, mass spectroscopy, chromatography, thermal analysis, and other spectroscopic and physical methods. In the laboratory portion of the course, students will synthesize and characterize organic compounds and materials.

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 220 minimum grade of D-.
