As defined in the Objectives, this subject is the experimental complement of the theoretical subject Mètodes Sintètics. Knowledge acquired in the subject Determinació Estructural will also be put into practice. For this reason, it is highly recommended that students have passed or taken these subjects during the first semester of the same academic year. On the other hand, as these theoretical subjects of 3rd year are based on the knowledge acquired in the subject of 2nd year Estructura i Reactivitat dels Compostos Orgànics, it is also essential to have passed this subject to held Organic Synthesis Laboratory. It should be noted that the reactions that the students will perform and the compounds that they will synthesize and analyze are part of the contents of the theoretical subjects mentioned above and consequently, both in the laboratory sessions and in the evaluation of this course, these contents are taken for granted.
The main objectives of this experimental subject are:
Reinforce the understanding of the concepts acquired in the theoretical subject Mètodes Sintètics held by the students in the first semester, through a series of experiments of synthesis and characterization of compounds.
Complement the laboratories connected to the second year subject Estructura i Reactivitat dels Compostos Orgànics.
To provide the student with a solid training in a good number of advanced synthetic techniques of greater difficulty than those that form part of the laboratories linked to the second year subjects.
Incorporate the use of some analysis techniques (IR, UV and NMR spectroscopy) that the student will use in the characterization of the compounds.
Make students aware of the safety rules of a chemical laboratory, precautions in the handling of hazardous substances and learn waste treatment protocols.
This course is based on conducting experiments of length in variable time.
The realization of these experiments will be carried out in 12 sessions of 4 hours each.
This subject is structured in:
1) An informative session (50 min) in which the operation of the subject and the laboratories will be presented to the students. Emphasis will also be placed on the security measures to be followed and some key aspects of the practices to be carried out. The final minutes of this session will be dedicated to evaluating the assimilation of the teaching materials previously provided through the Moodle platform.
2) Twelve laboratory sessions of 4 hours each. In these sessions the synthesis and characterization of a series of organic products will be carried out. Prior to the start of the laboratory sessions, written tests will be performed to assess the degree of understanding and knowledge that the student has achieved by preparing the practice autonomously and the knowledge of the theoretical aspects related to the practice.

The student’s mark in this subject will consist of two parts:
1st Part: Written tests (Contribution to the final mark of the subject = 80%): Contribute to this part: brief written assessment tests (prelabs), the laboratory notebook and the final exam. The latter consists of a written assessment test. A second test will be scheduled exclusively to retake this part or raise a grade.
2nd Part: Others (Contribution to the final mark of the subject = 20%)
In this part different aspects will be valued: the attitude of the student, the results of the experiments, social and work relationship with the group. This part will not be recoverable.
Qualifications:
Student who PASSES the subject:
Student who accomplishes the following requirements:
a) To obtain a mark equal to or greater than 5 out of 10 in the final exam.
b) The score resulting from the weighting of all parts provides a score equal to or greater than 5 out of 10.
c) In case of missed attendance, this must be due justified to the Instructors. In any case, absences cannot exceed a session (4 hours).
Student who DOES NOT PASS the subject:
The student who completes the following requirements:
a) The student that does not achieve any of the requirements pointed at “Student who PASSES the subject” section above.
b) Any student who has not justified one missing attendance or has more than one missing attendance.
Students with Distinction (Matrícula d'Honor):
The Mention of "Matrícula d'Honor" may be awarded to students who have obtained a qualification equal to or greater than 9.00. The number may not exceed 5% of the students enrolled in the subject (Groups 1 + 2) in the corresponding academic course.
NOT EVALUABLE STUDENT:
Any student who has not participated in any laboratorysession or inthe final written exam or the retake exam.
RETAKE:
To participate in the retake exam, students must have been previously assessed in a set of activities contributing a minimum of two thirds of the total mark of the subject.
The retake of all the evaluation activities carried out in the Laboratory sessions is not contemplated.
The final exam can be retaken by means of a written test.
IRREGULARITIES IN EXAMS
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation in the rating of an assessment act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, deception, letting go, etc. in any of the evaluation activities it will imply to fail the exam with a zero score.
LABORATORY SAFETY WARNING
A student who, as a consequence of negligent behavior, is involved in an incident that may have serious safety consequences, may be expelled from the laboratory and fail the course.
