Week 8 Problem set Chem 30 CL

There are no prelab questions for this week's lab. There will be no in-lab quiz either during week 8. Please make sure that you come well prepared to the lab in order to finish up the "Epoxiation project" during this week, preferably during your own lab period.

Try to use the time in order to work on the draft version of your formal report which will be due on November 22, 2002. By now you should have done the literature research as well in order to enable you to write the introduction for the paper e.g. alternate synthesis of the aldehyde and chiral epoxides. You should write up the part of the project (experimental and discussion) that you have done a few weeks ago e.g. resolution, aldehyde and ligand synthesis. If you have problems, you shoudl consult your TA or the instructor asap.

Note: I will be available for questions on Monday (Veteran's Day).
