Microwave-Enhanced Organic Syntheses for the Undergraduate Laboratory: Diels−Alder Cycloaddition, Wittig Reaction, and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Marsha R. Baar, Danielle Falcone and Christopher GordonJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (1), 84-86Microwave-Enhanced Organic Syntheses for the Undergraduate Laboratory: Diels−Alder Cycloaddition, Wittig Reaction, and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Marsha R. Baar, Danielle Falcone and Christopher GordonJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (1), 84-86Microwave heating enhanced the rate of three reactions typically performed in our undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory: a Diels−Alder cycloaddition, a Wittig salt formation, and a Williamson ether synthesis. Ninety-minute refluxes were shortened to ...

The State of Organic Teaching Laboratories
Gail HorowitzJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (2), 346The State of Organic Teaching Laboratories
Gail HorowitzJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (2), 346This review explores the dramatic changes that have taken place in the organic chemistry laboratory course over the last two to three decades. The most significant changes have been in the areas of pedagogy and technology. Significant inroads have been ...
