Describes a synthesis laboratory that is a two-semester sequence for students who have had general chemistry as well as prior or concurrent experience with organic chemistry. Outlines the compounds synthesized, techniques used, and possible special projects. (GS)

Describes a teaching model that consists of a plywood box containing mechanisms that instruct the student about the technical aspects of an infrared spectrophotometer and how a spectrum is generated. (MLH)

Describes an undergraduate experiment that illustrates the use of thin-layer chromatography. (MLH)

The metabolism and toxicology of the herbicide 2, 4, 5-T are reviewed. (BB)

Discusses free-radical organic conductors and semiconductors, contrasting them with familiar classes of solids such as metals, magnetic insulators, and molecular solids. (Author/GA)

Discusses the kinetic behavior associated with the interaction of metal ions with apocarbonic anhydrase, focusing on the formation of two metallocarbonic anhydrase--the biochemically active Co(II) and the inactive Ni(II)derivatives. (GA)

Describes a simple inexpensive experiment designed to measure the levels of cortisol in a serum or plasma sample. (Author/GA)

Describes an experiment that has been introduced in the organic chemistry laboratory program at Shepherd College, Shepherdstown, West Virginia. It illustrates microbial reaction and its role in the synthesis of vitamin C. (HM)

The historical development of the use of diphosphonates in detergents is presented as well as physical chemistry, physiological response, toxicology, and human clinical trials with these compounds. (BB)

A kit is described for use in automation of routine chemical research procedures. The kit uses sensors to evaluate the state of the system, actuators which modify the adjustable parameters, and an organ of decision which uses the information from the sensors. (BB)

A number of phase transfer catalysis reactions are illustrated. (CP)

Presents a simple, logical, and structured system for teaching and learning all the various structure variations and reactions of organic chemicals. (SL)

Presents current raw-score-percentile rank norms for the American Chemical Society (ACS) chemistry examinations. (SL)

Describes the laboratory procedure suitable for an introductory organic chemistry procedure. (CP)
