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.

TEK-students: Bachelor in Technological Science (Chemistry) or similar, or admitted to a Master of Science in Engineering - Chemistry

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
