Bring your Molecular Models and a calculator.
The final quiz is closed book.
The final quiz will consist mostly of Prelab quiz type multiple choice questions. The following topics will be covered:
1) Lab Manual introduction paragraphs in each experiment in the 3361 Lab Manual.
2) Lab Handbook assigned reading.
3) Study Questions ("Extra Study Questions" will not be covered)
4) Procedures. You need to know the purpose of organic chemistry techniques in a work-up scheme, including crystallization, distillation, extraction, washing steps (saturated aqueous NaCl, saturated aqueous NaHCO3), and drying agents.
You do not have to memorize: physical properties of reagents; procedures and glassware set-ups for each specific experiment; the exact procedure for each experiment or the hazards of specific reagents.
5) Calculations of moles of reagents and theoretical yield.
6) You need to know the names of the glassware and equipment in your lab drawer.
7) Modeling exercises I (Conformational Analysis of Alkanes and Cyclohexanes) and II (Stereochemistry). You need to know how to draw Newman projections, indicate eclipsed bonds or gauche interactions, designate a molecule as R or S, and determine if given molecules are enantiomers or diastereomers.
8) IR and NMR Spectroscopy. There will be 2 spectroscopy problems included with the final quiz. You will be given a set of IR and NMR tables for this question.
