312-313-314. Advanced Organic Chemistry. [Pratt.]
3 hours a week.
During the first term some time will be devoted to a review of the historical
development of the subject, with special attention to fundamental
theories. Parallel reading will be assigned. The remainder of the year will
be devoted to an intimate study of one or more of the special phases of
Organic Chemistry, such as Dyes and Indicators, Carbohydrates, Terpenes,
Polymethylenes, Coal Tar Products, etc. Reading from the scientific journals
and reference books will be assigned.
The laboratory work will consist of the more difficult organic preparations,
partially adapted to the topics under discussion in the lectures, special
attention being given to a quantitative study of the reactions. (Fall, Winter,
Spring.)
