Students perform five experiments: a dual reduction, a Wittig, a Diels-Alder, and two qualitative analysis experiments. The first involves identification of an unknown compound. The second involves reacting two unkowns together to form an ester, and solving the structures of all three compounds.
This course is offered in the winter as well. In that quarter, there will be no enrollment cap or Saturday lab sections.
All students enrolled in Chem 130 on the first day of classes (September 25) will be assessed the lab fee, even if they subsequently drop the course.
