1. Course Description: This course is based on laboratory experiments in organic chemistry. This course is
available for second-year M.Sc. Chemistry students.
2. Scope and Objective of the Course: The course’s main objective is to provide students with a firsthand
experience of basic techniques used in an organic chemistry laboratory. Broadly, the experiments include
qualitative organic analysis, detection of known and unknown functional groups, chemical separation of a
mixture of two compounds, examples of single-step and two-step organic syntheses, extraction of organic
compounds from natural sources or from drugs, chromatographic separation of the pure compound from a
mixture obtained in a multistep reaction, etc.

2-3 Functional group analysis of known compounds • Safe laboratory practices and
(12 Compounds, common) handling of glassware, equipment,
Lab-II and reagents.
Experiments*: Non-nitrogenous functional groups: Alcohol,
Phenol, Aldehyde, Ketone, Alkene, Alkyne • Preliminary observation of general
Qualitative physical characteristics of organic
(unsaturated compounds), Carbohydrate,
Analysis of compounds
Carboxylic acid, and Ester
Organic
Understanding of the organic
Compounds Nitrogenous functional groups: Amine, Amide, compounds chemical separation and
Nitroaromatics purification techniques like
distillation, extraction, etc.
4-5 Complete analysis (Elemental analysis &
functional group determination) of unknown • Learning of elements and
compounds, & mp determination (min. of two functional group analysis.
compounds by each student)
• Utilization of characterization
6 Separation of the mixture by Separation techniques like mp, IR, and NMR
Technique-I: A mixture of water-soluble • Proper documentation of
components and the water-insoluble component laboratory work
will be separated by water and identification of
residue by elemental & functional group analysis
(one mixture to each student)
