CHEM4457 (Lab for CHEM 4456) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Accompanies CHEM 4456. Integrates elements of experimental design, organic synthesis, isolation and characterization of organic compounds, and interpretation of experimental observations. Students, working in small groups, evaluate a multistep synthesis of a compound developed for clinical trials as an anticancer agent, conducting the synthetic sequence, completing each reaction, characterizing the products, and interpreting and reporting the results. A final report in the form of an American Chemical Society (ACS) manuscript summarizes each group’s efforts.
