Course guarantor:

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Nuclear Chemistry

Synopsis:

Practical courses should allow students to become familiar with some basic organic chemistry laboratory techniques and methods of organic chemistry. Synthetic problems are chosen so that student gets acquainted with basic chemical operations, properties of selected organic compounds, and acquire basic skills to synthesize a range of organic compounds. The course complements the theoretical knowledge of organic chemistry.

Requirements:

Completerd course Organic Chemistry 1, enrolled for the course Organic Chemistry 2.

Syllabus of lectures:

Syllabus of tutorials:

1.General safety regulations and first aid in the chemical laboratory.

2.Apparatus and basic operations: Assembly of apparatus, stirring, heating, cooling, operations under diminished pressure.

3.Isolation and purification processes: Filtration, solvent extraction, drying of solid compounds, drying of liquids, crystallization.

4.Distillation: Simple distillation, steam destillation, distillation under diminished pressure.

5.Thin layer chromatography.

6.Reporting the results of experimental study.

7.All mentioned laboratory techniques are trained on the syntheses of following compounds: cyclohexene, n-butylbromide, 2-methyl-2-hexanol, acetanilide, 4-nitroacetanilide, 4-nitroaniline, Orange II, caffeine, 1, 2, 3, 4-penta-O-acetyl-b-D-glucopyranose.
