Comment:
Tidsmæssig placering: 1. kvartal, men bemærk, at undervisningen allerede vil foregå i august måned!
Undervisningen bliver udelukkende afholdt i august måned med 6 sammenhængende øvelsesgange af 8 timers varighed.

Hold S2 vil blive holdsat først. Skulle der være mere end 17 tilmeldte, bruges hold S1.

Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
KE505 Organic chemistry must be passed, KE502 Chemistry of the elements and physical chemistry or KE521 and KE523 must be attended, KE504 Analytical spectroscopy is recommended.

Course introduction
The aim of the course is to give the students a detailed knowledge about common operations used in a synthetic laboratory. Thus, the objective of the course is to provide the students with fundamental knowledge that forms the basis for the completion of a bachelor project within synthetic chemistry.

Expected learning outcome
When the course is completed the student is expected to:

• relate theoretical knowledge of organic reactions and reaction mechanisms to carry out practical organic synthesis
• carry out synthesis corresponding to the level in "Organic Synthesis"
• carry out limited multi-step syntheses
• carry out synthesis under inert atmosphere
• describe and use different purification techniques
• determine the purity of the compounds synthesized using analytical and spectroscopic methods
• conduct literature searches in Beilstein and Chemical Abstracts
• explain and apply safe behavior in a synthetic laboratory

Subject overview
The following topics will be treated and discussed:

1. Precautions against accidents in the laboratory
2. Secure behavior in a synthetic laboratory
3. Use of Beilstein and Chemical Abstracts
4. Planning synthetic work
5. Different unit operations used in a synthetic laboratory
6. Preparation of selected organic and inorganic compounds
