Classes (iCal) - next class is marked with N

ATTENTION: there is no overlap of the FIRST course of the physical chemical practical course and this course

15.11.2023, 14:00-17:00 h: Preliminary discussion + introduction on safety relevant aspects and working procedures

Attending the preliminary discussion is mandatory for all course participants. A no-show results in a direct deregistration of the participant and registration of the next person on the waiting list. Thus, students on the waiting list are also encouraged to attend!

16.11.2023, 9:00 h: working places are distributed directly in the lab course rooms (place numbers and rooms will be communicated in advance via Moodle)

16.11.2023, 14:00-15:00 h: : Introduction to literature search tools

Practical laboratory work
20.11.2023-15.12.2023 AND 8.1.2024-15.1.2024, Mo-Fr 13:00-18:00h

16.1.2024, 13:00 h: return of working places

19.1.2024, 12:00 h: due date for the theoretical example

  • Wednesday 15.11. 14:00 - 17:00 Carl Auer v. Welsbach-Hörsaal Chemie Boltzmanngasse 1 HP
  • Thursday 16.11. 14:00 - 15:00 Joseph-Loschmidt-Hörsaal Chemie EG Währinger Straße 42

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The participants perform individual synthetic examples to broaden their practical skills in organic chemistry
The objective of the course is to improve the participants' knowledge of synthetic organic chemistry. A series of 11 individual synthetic steps will be performed to illustrate and practice typical working methods, as well as separation and purification procedures like extraction, distillation, chromatography, crystallization, and performing reactions under absolute conditions. Control of purity and/or characterization of isolated products will be done by physical and/or spectroscopic methods. For selected examples a literature search, including on-line information retrieval will be performed with the aim to evaluate, adapt, and apply known synthetic procedures.

Assessment and permitted materials

Preparation and characterization of 10 synthetic products + creation of a synthetic working procedure on paper. For each synthetic example a short oral exam, protocol, literature search and practical skills will be evaluated (maximum 18 pt per example). Additionally up to 18 points can be reached for the writing of the synthetic procedure

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Mandatory criteria for acceptance to the course: Lectures “Organische Chemie I” and “Chemisches Grundpraktikum II” as well as parallel registration for the “Proseminar in Organic Chemistry” are mandatory.

Recommened: Basic knowledge in spectroscopy, recommendation: “Molekülspektroskopische Übungen”

To pass the course it is necessary to obtain a minimum of 134 points (out of 198 in total). Grading key: 0-133 P = nicht genügend (5), 134-149 P = genügend (4), 150-167 = befriedigend (3), 168-184 = gut (2), 185-198 = sehr gut (1)

A maximum of 18 points can be reached per example, these are composed as follows:
6 P oral exam,
4 P protocol,
8 P practical work (incl. yield and purity of the product)

Examination topics

On working sheets to the examples the students are asked about techniques, methods and theoretical backgrounds necessary to work on the relevant tasks.
