The purpose of this course is to provide a chance to experience organic and inorganic synthesis, and to acquaint the students with experimental procedures and techniques.

- Students admitted before 2017 in the Department of Chemistry are not eligible to enroll in this course.

- Prerequisite (Required)
Chemical Reaction Laboratory
Students who have completed Organic Chemistry Laboratory (CHEB211) are also permitted to enroll.
(Note: This is independent of whether CHEB211 is recognized as a major requirement in the Chemistry curriculum.)

- Recommended Prerequisites
Organic Chemistry I & II
Inorganic Chemistry

- Additional Requirements
To participate in the laboratory sessions, students must submit:
A certificate of completion for the online laboratory safety training for the current semester, and
A signed consent form agreeing to the course operation policies.

1. Course Textbook: A department-produced textbook will be distributed at the beginning of the semester.

2. Reference Materials (Use the most recent editions of the following resources.)
1) D. L. Pavia, G. M. Lampman, G. S. Kriz and R. G. Engel, Introduction to Organic Laboratory Techniques-A Small Scale Approach, 2nd ed., Brooks/Cole, Belmont, CA, 2005.
2) R. J. Angelici, :Synthesis and Technique in Inorganic Chemistry", 2nd Ed., W. B. Sanders, 1986.
3) Your Textbooks

3. Additional Literature: Additional research papers and reading materials will be provided separately.

* Students will perform six experiments in total, consisting of three organic and three inorganic experiments selected from the list below.
* When conducted jointly with CHEM321, the order of experiments may be adjusted.
* Experiments may be substituted with alternative experiments, and any changes will be announced 3–4 weeks in advance.

1) The class is held every Monday at 2:00 PM in the Synthesis Laboratory, Research Building 1.
2) If necessary, additional laboratory sessions may be conducted on Wednesdays at 2:00 PM.
3) Each experiment consists of a quiz, a short presentation, and the laboratory exercise, in that order.

1) Students are expected to thoroughly prepare for each experiment by reviewing the relevant sections of the course textbook before attending the class.
2) Students must wear the required laboratory attire as specified in the safety guidelines.
