Abstract

An instructional unit is described for integrating computational molecular modeling into the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory curriculum. The approach emphasizes use of computational modeling as a readily available, efficient tool for understanding structure and reactivity, predicting products, and rationalizing the results of organic reactions performed in the laboratory. This approach has been used in a large organic chemistry lab program for five semesters with favorable results. Through individual hands-on experience with computational modeling, students gain a more complete and correct understanding of structure, bonding, and reactivity.
