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.
Before the first day of class (Tuesday, January 9), go to the following link and enter your preferences for which day you wish to come to lab.

Lab will be 1-5 p.m. on weekdays, and 8-12 or 9-1 on Saturday mornings. The Monday lab section will have to be rescheduled to Saturday afternoon for both campus holidays (January 15 and February 19).
Order of signup is taken into account, so those who wait until the last minute are less likely to get their top choices.
Also, do not "shop" this course. The lab fee is assessed to all students who are enrolled in the class on January 9, and is not refundable (the fee reserves you a fume hood space as well as paying for about 40% of the chemicals and glassware that you will use).
