Organic chemistry laboratory

My favorite subject was organic chemistry laboratory, in this subject everything seen in organic chemistry is put into practice.

In organic chemistry the teachers teach us the theory; nomenclature of organic compounds, the chemical physical properties,  synthesis of this compounds and other things. I remember that we were obligated to assist because the teacher  not upload her complete PPTs haha.

The other semester, we had to take organic chemistry laboratory and all matter of organic chemistry was put into practice, we had to deliver a report in each practice. The most important thing was the yield percentage and product grams obtained.

I like because in this laboratory compounds are synthesized from another compounds, for example we must synthesize salicylic acetil acid, or better knows as aspirin. Here we learned to nitrate, acetylate, protect compounds, among other things. For this lab a must go preparing because can happen problems. One day my friend was re crystallization his product in a volatile solvent and he is careless and provoked a mini fire and some his was hair burned haha but don´t happened nothing serious.

The only thing negative about this subject is that the teachers hurry up all the time.
