Use spectroscopic data to elucidate chemical structures and analyze samples of pure and impure mixtures. Audience: Undergraduate 2. Safely use basic and advanced organic chemistry apparatus, glassware, and techniques for the synthesis, isolation, and purification of organic molecules. Audience: Undergraduate 3. Obtain and use computational data to support their analysis of a molecular structure and/or reaction outcome. Audience: Undergraduate 4. Use the electronic and molecular structure of organic molecules to predict and rationalize chemical reactivity. Audience: Undergraduate 5. Construct and use a reaction energy profile to justify why a particular reaction system generates certain products with an emphasis on modern organic reactions. Audience: Undergraduate 6. Plan and conduct independent chemical syntheses and use spectroscopic evidence to evaluate, modify, and implement improvements. Audience: Undergraduate 7. Communicate results from student-run chemical reactions in writing and oral presentations authentic to professional publications and settings. Audience: Undergraduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
