Student Learning Outcomes

• Provided with a molecular formula and the infrared (IR), 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectra for an unknown organic molecule, CHEM 81 students will be able to propose a correct structure for the unknown molecule.
• students will be able to evaluate a multistep synthesis An exit exam where students will analyze the reaction intermediates and reagents necessary to accomplish the multistep synthesis of a given target molecule.
• Students will use spectral data, such as IR, HNMR, CNMR, DEPT and MS, to determine the structure of a simple organic molecule or product of a reaction.
• Students will predict the major product of a single-step organic reaction.
• Provide wit a molecular formula and the infrared(IR), 1H-­-NMR,13C-­-NMR spectra for an unknown organic molecule, CHEM 81 students will be able to propose a correct structure for the unknown molecule.
