Description

This teaching unit is designed as an experimental one-week microproject to be done under laboratory conditions. Its main objective is to enable students to elaborate and apply their own research program on a topic related to green organic synthesis & catalysis.

• Bibliographic work on the selected topic.
• Selection of adequate techniques and methods of organic synthesis to solve a well defined scientific problematic.
• Set-up & application of an experimental design.
• Analysis & discussion of the results obtained during the lab session through a written synthetic report and an oral presentation.

Compétences visées

• Implement & adjust experimental procedures under non conventional conditions. Handle & tackle issues related to such alternative conditions.
• Perform an organic reaction in an independent manner from its choice, its monitoring and the set-up of reaction conditions, through the isolation, purification and identification of the expected products, to the analysis of obtained results and the management of waste.
• Get a critical and constructive position towards an experimental procedure, especially regarding the balance between its efficiency and its environmental impact.
• Work in a collaborative group, manage a project & make relevant decisions, give clear intructions to a collaborator/employee.
