Integriertes Organisch-Chemisches Praktikum (I.O.C.-Praktikum)

The internship presented here is based on the work by S. Hünig, G. Märkl, and J. Sauer from 1979. Integrated means that it is not a traditional cookbook. All aspects that must be considered in an experiment in scientific uncharted territory are already integrated into the practical attempt. Spectroscopy, discussion of the relevant spectra with regard to several conceivable reaction products, theoretical understanding of the various reaction processes, and ultimately the formulation of the reaction mechanisms. The I.O.C. internship is organized by reaction types, and the experiments in the subsections are interconnected in a goal-oriented manner towards the reaction mechanism, whenever possible. This structure is also intended to simulate research-related conditions. The printed text covers safety, standard reaction apparatus, and sample experiments after the general chapters.
