Learning Objectives - Last names A-L
Students learn the principles of the main manual and instrumental techniques aimed to purify the organic compounds, and the basic principles of IR and NMR spectroscopy. Students learn how to behave safely in an organic chemistry laboratory and how to prevent any risk due to hazards linked to exposure to toxic/inflammable substances. Students also learn how to work in small groups. Student learn how to carry out simple organic reactions and to purify the obtained products. They also learn how to use instrumentation for the analysis of the physical-chemical properties of compounds (HPLC, GC, IR, mp)
