Content
Laboratory work is an important part of all chemical development work. In this course, standard organic-chemical laboratory techniques are used to carry out reactions, purify (distillation, extraction, recrystallization), and characterize the products (boiling point, melting point, IR, NMR). The course also includes elements of reading safety data sheets for chemicals, assessing risks, and considering possible substitution of reagents and solvents in the planning of syntheses. The course also includes the use of ChemDraw drawing software and software for IR and NMR.
Learning outcome
The student will master the most common laboratory techniques in organic chemistry and will be able to plan and carry out chemical reactions, purify the product, and analyze the results based on descriptions similar to scientific articles. The student will be able to read data sheets, assess risks, and perform a simple safety job analysis for the experiments. The student can document the work in a lab journal and report experiments according to international standards.
Forkunnskapskrav
It is necessary to either have basic knowledge in organic chemistry or acquire it concurrently with the laboratory course by taking the theoretical course KJE230 Organic Chemistry at the same time.
Anbefalte forkunnskaper
Basic knowledge in organic chemistry is essential for successfully completing the laboratory course.
Exam
Vilkår for å gå opp til eksamen/vurdering
For safety reasons, laboratory experiments must be conducted at scheduled times.

Åpent for
Open course for all students with an active right to study and who meet the requirements for general university admissions certification (GSK).
Emneevaluering
There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital course evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
