KEMS5800 Advanced practical laboratory of organic structural and synthetic chemistry (1-12 cr)
Learning outcomes
After the course the student knows the basic analytical techniques in organic synthesis and structural chemistry. The aim of the course is to give information how to use different analytical methods. The student is able to use different analytical methods in the structural elucidation of an unknown compound. Student knows how to use modern synthesis procedures. The student will learn how to use advanced laboratory techniques and handling. The student is able to carry out modern organic synthesis with confidence and in such a way as to maximize the chance of success. In mini project work student learn how to work in research group and to get the insight of the research fields in organic synthesis and structural chemistry, in the University of Jyväskylä.

Content
Practical advanced laboratory works includes introduction lecture before starting the practical laboratory works. This will be organized in mid-September.
Advanced practical laboratory work in organic synthesis and structural chemistry consist of synthesis and analytical work of organic chemistry and instrumental analysis, multi-phased synthesis with laboratory book keeping on the progress of the synthesis. Project work, is done mainly in research groups, before Master project.
