Chem Courses

A list of the courses taught by professor Pettus 

Justin Russak is teaching Chem 6a for summer and fall of 2009

 
 

Chem 6aL: The course introduces the physical properties of organic molecules, properties which enable molecules to be differentiated.  It  covers the basic techniques for these purposes. [distillation, extraction, chromatography and spectroscopy


Chem 6bL:  The course introduces students to microscale techniques (10-100mg) used in organic synthesis and covers many of the basic functional group transformations.


Chem 6cL: The course introduces students to macroscale synthesis (100mg-10g) and several more sophisticated reaction protocols


Chem 6bH-6cH: Research in lieu of chem 6bL and/or chem 6cL.  Open to chemistry and biochemistry majors with minimum GPA of 3.5 by invitation only.  Meet with Professor Pettus to get and add code.


Chem 129 (SOR): A survey of reactions of organic substances with emphasis on those with practical synthetic utility, including discussion of mechanism, scope and limitations, and stereochemical issues.


Chem 133 (ASC): A comprehensive discussion of advanced synthetic chemistry, including the applications of oxidation, reduction, addition, condensation, substitution, and rearrangement reactions.
