| Third Lab Period |
Turn in a very brief summary of
your project (1 or 2 sentences). Email is OK.

|
Seventh Lab Period
|
Brief paper (1-3 double spaced
typed pages with references) with the following information
(see Pavia):
- Why do you want to run this
experiment?
- What hypothesis
will you be testing?
- What possible results might
you find?
- History
- Who initially did
the experiment?
- What was the purpose of the
initial experiment?
- If a synthesis, why was the
compound interesting?
- Chemicals needed
- starting material,
solvents, catalysts, etc., Include information on
safety
- available at LHU? Check the
on line chemical data base. It has a listing of the
chemicals available in the organic stockroom. If the
chemical is not in the organic stockroom, it may be
available downstairs. Check with me for
availability.
- Aldrich catalog number for
each chemical, even if it is available.
- Cost of each chemical, even
if it is available.

Ninth Lab Period
|
Begin lab work

Last Monday of Lecture
Thirteenth Lab Period
|
Final report
(3-4 pages) is due. Write it as a communication to JACS.
Include a brief introduction, the actual experimental
procedure you followed, results and discussion, and a brief
conclusion. Make sure you include any references you used
that are relevant. The 15-minute PowerPoint presentations on the final
experiment will begin during the final week of lectures.
