Course Outlines

Section 6.2 identified those individuals who should be given safety training. Recommendations for the scope of the training course for several key groups are given below. 

New employees as a group will not be familiar with company operations and policies, nor with the types of hazard they may encounter. Their training program must be intensive in basic material and should include 

Transferred employees may be well versed in company policies and general procedures. They should not, however, be assumed to be well informed about specific hazards and safety procedures in their new jobs. Relevant parts of the new employee training program should be available to all transferred employees. 

Operators mistakes can have disastrous safety consequences. Because high levels of skill are required in many operating jobs, proper training is essential. A training course for process plant operators should include 

Supervisors play a critical role in ensuring that company safety policies are observed. Their many duties associated with safety may include

This chapter is in no way meant to impart a thorough understanding of the theoretical principles on which computational techniques are based. There are many texts available on these subjects, a selection of which are listed in the bibliography. This book assumes that the reader is a chemist and has already taken introductory courses outlining these fundamental principles. This chapter presents the notation and terminology that will be used in the rest of the book. It will also serve as a reminder of a few key points of the theory upon which computation chemistry is based. 

S+3C] Heterocyclisations have been successfully effected starting from 4-amino-l-azadiene derivatives. The cycloaddition of reactive 4-amino-1-aza-1,3-butadienes towards alkenylcarbene complexes goes to completion in THF at a temperature as low as -40 °C to produce substituted 4,5-dihydro-3H-azepines in 52-91% yield [115] (Scheme 66). Monitoring the reaction by NMR allowed various intermediates to be determined and the reaction course outlined in Scheme 66 to be established. This mechanism features the following points in the chemistry of Fischer carbene complexes (i) the reaction is initiated at -78 °C by nucleophilic 1,2-addition and (ii) the key step cyclisation is triggered by a [l,2]-W(CO)5 shift. 

Reaction of diarylmethyl thiocyanates with bases has been shown (Ceccon et al., 1969) to take the course outlined in (185). The variation of rate with Ar ... 

The reaction of epichlorohydrin with staunic chloride etlimiie produced unexpected results, according to Meerwein and m-voAm,lls 1M1 in that it follows the course outlined in Eq. (yell. Worefold and Eostham10 0 have also recently reported similar obstrv i... 

Shiner and coworkers also studied optically active acyclic secondary sulphonate esters and found rate accelerations of about 100 in solvolysis in TFA at 25 °C compared with the alkyl reference (Table 8)93-95. From the product distribution and the stereochemical outcome of the solvolysis Shiner and coworkers proposed the reaction course outlined in equation 37 for the brosylate 23994. The transition state for the ionization adopts the W conformation and, to a smaller extent, the ewrfo-Sickle conformation and results in the formation of /-silicon carbocation which is stabilized by a percaudal interaction. The incoming nucleophile attacks the bridged ion from the front side94. 

The course outlined in this book is an experimental study of chemistry. Chapters I and III deal with general principles. The first part of each of these two chapters gives directions for experiments which are to be performed by the student. Records of these experiments are to be kept in the laboratory note book as follows the experimental facts and measurements are to be recorded on the left-hand page as the note book lies open opposite these statements, on the right-hand page, calculations are to be made, equations for the chemical reactions are to be written, and final conclusions are to be drawn. The second part of each of these chapters is devoted to notes discussing the principles that the experiments illustrate, and problems for home work. 

The reduction of quinizarin using sodium hydrosulfite produces leuco quinizarin, which, in turn, undergoes condensation with alkyl- or arylamines and reoxidation to produce blue and green disperse and solvent dyes. Although chemical oxidation can be used, air oxidation is normally sufficient. See steps A and B in Fig. 13.112 for the general reaction scheme. The use of boric acid in the reduction step follows the course outlined in Fig. 13.H3, where the synthesis of C.I. Solvent Green 3 is given as an example.56... 

Throughout the laboratory course outlined in the previous chapters, the typical reactions of a number of important classes of compounds have been illustrated by experiments. These reactions are made use of in the identification of organic compounds. Practice in such identifications is of great educational value, as it requires continuous thought on the part of the student, is an excellent review of many facts which have been learned, and has a practical significance. 

The reaction of benzyne (from anthranilic acid) with 2,5-diphenyI-l,4-dithiin 1,1-dioxide (228) follows the course outlined in Scheme 21 to give 2-phenylbenzo[b]thiophen (27%), phenylacetylene, and sulfur dioxide.114 Instead of the 1,5-addition shown, it is possible to envisage the formation of a 1,3-cycloadduct as intermediate analogous to that drawn for addition to thiophen (Scheme 9), although no such intermediate was detected. Compound 228 reacts in the same manner with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxy-late.114...

The course outline for this degree reveals why it is neither a Master of Science in Chemistry nor a Master of Arts in the Teaching of Chemistry. It clearly is not focussed on the frontiers of chemical knowledge as required of the former and it does not emphasize pedagogy to the extent that the latter degree usually does. Hence, the degree is classified as a Master of Arts in Chemistry. 

A series of actual student experiments given as individual handouts follows this laboratory course outline. 

Instructors are required to make it clear to students what the course requirements are textbook, homework (if any), quizzes/tests/exams, term project (if any). These are included in the course syllabus, which also includes a course outline. The course outline gives you a general idea on the scope of the topics covered.

Students are increasingly choosing to "skip class". In the Geomechanics I class of2011 (140 enrolments), 140 copies of the course outline were taken for distribution in the first lecture 45 were not distributed, as students did not attend. In a survey conducted in week 10, the average attendance of lectures was only 60. Typical weekly tutorial attendance (optional) is around 50 at the beginning of the hour and reduces to around 25 by the end of the session. There is also an increase in requests for the lectures to be taped and made available on the internet.
