Spring 2012
Welcome to the
Organic Chemistry Laboratory Program

Important information about Q-Dropping the Organic Laboratory:

If you drop the co-requisite lecture course during the semester, you no longer meet the requirements to be enrolled in the laboratory course!  Therefore, the laboratory course must be dropped at the same time.  Student Rule 1.16.4 includes the statement: “If a lecture and companion lab are dropped at the same time, this will count as one Q-drop rather than two.”

Any student discovered providing false information on this form will be charged with academic dishonesty Aggie Honor System Rules.  This charge may be brought at anytime this is discovered, regardless of the point in the semester at which this discovery is made.

Chemistry 231

Techniques of Organic Chemistry. (1-3). Credit 2. Techniques of organic chemistry; preparation, properties of typical organic compounds; separation, purification, analysis, and characterization of organic compounds.

Prerequisites:
The prerequisite for registration in Chemistry 231 laboratory is concurrent registration in, or credit for, Chemistry 227 and credit for Chemistry 112 or Chemistry 114.  Chem 107 does not fulfill the prerequisite for Chem 231. You cannot be concurrently registered in Chem 231 and Chem 234.

"Credit For" means credit recorded on the transcript for passing this course with a passing grade or for passing appropriate tests to obtain credit.

Also, see above for important information about Q-dropping this course.

Prerequisites:
The prerequisite for registration in Chemistry 237 laboratory is concurrent registration in, or credit for, Chemistry 227 and credit for Chemistry 112 or Chemistry 114.  Chem 107 does not fulfill the prerequisite for Chem 237. You cannot be concurrently registered in Chem 237 or Chem 231 and Chem 238.

“Credit For” means credit recorded on the transcript for passing this course with a passing grade or for passing appropriate tests to obtain credit.

Continuation of CHEM 237.

Prerequisites:
The prerequisite for registration in Chemistry 238 laboratory is concurrent registration in, or credit for, Chemistry 228 (228) and credit for Chemistry 237 or Chemistry 231.  You cannot be concurrently registered in Chem 237 or Chem 231 and Chem 238.

“Credit For” means credit recorded on the transcript for passing this course with a passing grade or for passing appropriate tests to obtain credit.

Chemistry 242

Organic chemistry and its applications to biological and agricultural chemistry, including chemistry of functional groups, acid-base and redox chemistry, stereochemistry and chemistry of important biological compounds. Not to be used as the basis for further study in organic chemistry or biochemistry.

Prerequisites:
The prerequisite for registration in Chemistry 242 laboratory is concurrent registration in, or credit for, Chemistry 222 and credit for Chemistry 101, Chemistry 103 or Chemistry 107.

“Credit For” means credit recorded on the transcript for passing this course with a passing grade or for passing appropriate tests to obtain credit.
