In all fields of chemistry, it has become essential to use quantum chemical calculations and machine learning for explaining and predicting chemical phenomena. However, it is challenging to apply textbook knowledge to practical research. In this study, we developed teaching material based on computational chemistry to promote the integration of…

We report a series of experiments based upon cinnamon oil that were developed to provide a practical integration of green and sustainable chemistry concepts for the organic chemistry laboratory. Five experiments centering around cinnamaldehyde as a green, plant-based chemical were performed by undergraduate students in a second-year organic…

Describes two experiments for a sophomore level organic chemistry utilizing commercially available borane-methyl sulfide (BMS). (SL)

Describes an experiment for the determination of water/lipid distribution ratios of drugs. (SL)

Provides description of an activity in which students synthesized sulfanilamide or sulfathiazole, II. The drug was then used as a chemotherapeutic agent. (RH)

Discusses the kinetic behavior associated with the interaction of metal ions with apocarbonic anhydrase, focusing on the formation of two metallocarbonic anhydrase--the biochemically active Co(II) and the inactive Ni(II)derivatives. (GA)

Presents four simple laboratory procedures for: preparation of organometallic compounds, a realistic qualitative organic analysis project, a computer program to plot potentiometric titration curves, and preparation of stereoscopic transparencies. (SL)

Describes an organic chemistry laboratory exercise which uses thermochromic compounds to study the thermodynamic effect of temperature on chemical equilbrium. (SL)

Describes an experiment designed to expose the student to the classical techniques of organic dye synthesis and introduce him to a variety of modern scientific knowledge and exotic physical phenomena which he might not encounter otherwise. (Author/DF)

The laboratory experiment described here is intended to be of use to the forensic science major enrolled in a course in organic chemistry. The experiment is the use of thin-layer chromotography for qualitative analysis, specifically for the identification of drugs. (Author/SA)

This reaction can form the basis of a laboratory experiment for students who have mastered basic spectroscopy. The structure of the product can be assigned from four reasonable possibilities on the basis of the nmr spectrum. (BB)
