Organic Chemistry Sheet

[Socorro Henson]

Amajor part of the DAT organic chemistry section is knowing your reactions. I have constructed the following reaction cheat sheet to expose you to every reaction that could possibly show up on the DAT.

My name is Dr. Ari Rezaei. My team and I built Bootcamp.com to provide challenging prep material to get you ready to conquer your classes and exams. I graduated from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine.

A major in Chemistry leads one to a trail head at graduation from which many career paths may be taken. One path leads to medical school, or veterinary school or nursing; that is, to a career in the health sciences. Another path leads to graduate studies in chemistry or biochemistry, fore-shadowing a life of teaching and research. Most environmental problems have a fundamental chemical basis. The chemistry major is well prepared to attack such problems, both technically and politically. Chemical analysis underlies many specialties. Criminal forensics, medical tests, and impurity testing come to mind. The chemistry major may choose a path in one of these directions. Synthesis of new materials and drugs is often the goal of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Many of our chemistry majors choose paths leading to careers in these areas. Large numbers of our former chemistry majors follow non-chemistry career paths. They tell us that their chemistry major provided excellent grounding in analytical thinking and an understanding of the basics of nature that helped make them successful in their chosen line of business.?

At UCSB the freshman student planning a degree in chemistry begins with a three quarter course in General Chemistry with Laboratory. Courses in Physics and Mathematics also are taken to provide the tools and understanding needed for later chemistry courses. In the second year, the student takes a three quarter course in Organic Chemistry with Laboratory. More required courses in Physics and, in the case of the B.S. degree Mathematics, also are taken. The student takes Analytical and Physical Chemistry with Laboratories in the junior year. The first opportunity to take upper division electives in chemistry occurs in this year. Electives allow you to place an emphasis on one of the subfields of chemistry. The student takes Inorganic Chemistry and more electives in the senior year. In addition to advanced courses in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, electives exist in biochemistry, biophysics, quantum mechanics, photochemistry, and statistical mechanics. We urge qualified chemistry majors to do some real research too by encouraging independent study and research with individual professors.?

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers two degrees in Chemistry. The B.S. degree includes more electives chosen in chemistry than the B.A. degree, and is intended for those who expect to pursue more studies of a chemical nature.

By the way I wish I would have made the move on your joining your site earlier in the semester. It would have made things a little bit easier. I joined about 2 weeks before finals and ended up getting an A in the class!

Those were honestly life savers for me. I really do think every person should purchase your summary sheets because they truly are money well spent. Thank you for helping me earn an A in organic chemistry this semester!

If you wish to provide feedback, there are links available for the organic resources all the time; for the introductory chemistry courses a link near the end of the semester will be provided. We always appreciate feedback so thank you in advance!

Note: For the purpose of this Fact Sheet, the term "disposable nitrile gloves" refers to gloves that are one-time use and have a thickness of 5-mil and less. Examples are given in the tables at the end of the fact sheet.

Thin, disposable, nitrile gloves are the most common gloves used when handling chemicals in laboratories; however, it is important to remember that thin nitrile rubber provides only limited chemical protection. These gloves are intended to be used only as a physical barrier against brief contact with chemicals, and they need to be removed and discarded immediately after they become contaminated.

It is important to remember that laboratory testing data does not take into account the effects of hand movement and body temperature. The actual protection will be less for a glove that is being worn and stressed during use.

Glove thickness is usually given in the unit mils, which is equal to one one-thousandth of an inch; therefore, a glove that is 10 mil, is 0.010 inches thick. A thicker gauge glove will provide more protection than a thinner glove of the same material, but often at the expense of touch-sensitivity and dexterity.

A glove that is too small for your hand will be over-stretched, which stresses the material and makes it less protective. A glove that is too large may compromise dexterity and may also become more easily damaged during use. Use the manufacturer's size chart to choose an appropriate fit.

Soiled gloves can contaminate objects and surfaces, later exposing you to chemical hazards. When this occurs, you can unknowingly be exposed to chemical hazards. If you do experience an acute health effect, it can be difficult to determine which chemical was the source of the exposure.

In addition to their superior chemical resistance profile, another reason that nitrile gloves are used instead of latex in Penn research labs is to avoid the skin allergies that can be caused by the proteins in the latex rubber. It is possible, however, for some individuals to be sensitive to the accelerators (chemical additives) in nitrile.

This fact sheet provides some general guidelines about the compatibility of nitrile rubber with common lab chemicals. You can print a PDF of the compatibility information to post in your lab. Posting this information is not a requirement. The attachment can be downloaded from the link at the bottom of this Fact Sheet.

In general, nitrile rubber provides short-term splash protection against the following chemicals. Breakthrough will not occur in under 15 mins for a 5-mil or greater thickness glove.

In general, nitrile provides very little protection* against the following common organic chemicals. If gloves come in contact with these chemicals, they must be changed immediately to avoid exposure.

*Disposable nitrile gloves of 8-mil thickness or greater will provide short term (15 minute) splash protection against HF. An appropriately rated chemical-resistant glove is required if prolonged contact with HF is anticipated. For more information about HF see the FACT SHEET: Hydrofluoric Acid in the Chemical Hygiene Plan.

The tables below show some nitrile glove products from common vendors. They are grouped by recommended use type based on the glove thickness and the manufacturer's chemical-compatibility testing data (for those who provided it).

The Zoology Major requires a minimum of 30 semester hours consisting of four core courses (evolution, ecology, organismal diversity, and general genetics), one course in biodiversity, two courses in organismal biology, and electives. In addition to courses in the major, prerequisite/supporting courses are required in introductory biology, mathematics, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, and statistics. These courses do not count towards the 30 hours in the major. The zoology major is described in detail in the Zoology Major Advising Sheet. Courses that can count as electives in the Zoology Major include any course taught in EEOB at or above the 2000 level, as well as such courses as Animal Sciences 3130, 3140, Anthropology 3300, 3304, Biology 3401, Biochemistry 4511, 5613, 5614, Earth Sciences 3315, 4501, Microbiology 4000, 4100, and Psychology 3313, 5601. Additional courses can be approved as electives by the zoology advisor, Sue Ellen Dehority (dehor...@osu.edu), or the honors zoology advisor, Dr. Lisle Gibbs. The minimum acceptable grade in any course counting in the major is C-, and the average grade of courses counting in the major may not be lower than a C (2.00). In the required supportive courses (math, physics, etc.) a D is minimally sufficient.

The Zoology Major satisfies the minimal requirements for most graduate programs in biology, but additional courses might be recommended, depending on the graduate program a student anticipates entering. It is usually wise to take a computer-based course in statistics. Additional chemistry or physics may also be advisable, depending on your intended area. Students planning to attend graduate school should discuss their plans with their Zoology advisor.

Students begin with a foundation in general chemistry, building their understanding of atomic structure, bonding, and chemical reactions. They then delve deeper into specialized areas like organic chemistry, which explores the intricate world of carbon-based molecules, and inorganic chemistry, exploring the diverse properties of inorganic compounds. Throughout the program, laboratory experiences solidify theoretical knowledge and hone practical skills, making Augusta University graduates well-equipped for success in various chemistry-related fields.

The Center for Undergraduate Research helps match students to faculty research, hosts professional development workshops and offers funding assistance twice a year to support faculty-led student research.

A new, state-of-the-art building with 22 teaching labs, a tutoring center and a top floor dedicated to research is located on the Health Sciences Campus, maximizing educational and research opportunities.
