Prerequisites:
None
Academic preconditions:
KE505 Organic chemistry is presupposed known; KE521 Chemistry of the elements (or KE528 Introductory inorganic chemistry) and KE523 Physical Chemistry A 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 SciFinder
- explain and apply safe behavior in a synthetic laboratory
Subject overviewThe following topics will be treated and discussed:
- Precautions against accidents in the laboratory
- Secure behavior in a synthetic laboratory
- Use of SciFinder
- Planning synthetic work
- Different unit operations used in a synthetic laboratory
- Preparation of selected organic and inorganic compounds

Prerequisites for participating in the exam
Attendance at laboratory exercises is a prerequisite for participating in the oral exam (exam b). Pass/fail, internal evaluation by teacher.
Assessment and marking:
- Approval of compulsory reports with theoretical questions. Joint assessment. Passed/not passed, internal evaluation by a teacher (0 ECTS). Deadline for handing in reports and report forms will be posted on Blackboard
- Oral exam with internal evaluation and marks according to the Danish 7-point marking scale (5 ECTS). Will be held immediately after the course. Date will be posted on Blackboard.
Re-examination right after the end of the course.
Expected working hours
The teaching method is based on three phase model.
Undervisningen vil bestå af obligatoriske laboratorieøvelser (6 × 8 timer) og 2 timers eksaminatorier.
