Discovery-Based Microscale Catalytic Decarbonylation of Aldehydes

Abstract

Experimental procedure for decarbonylation of aldehydes by heating over a palladium/carbon catalyst.

Interlaboratory Collaborations in the Undergraduate Setting

“…Educators have shown increasing interest over the past several years in utilizing innovative approaches to learning in the laboratory. These approaches include collaborative methods (1-7), discovery-based methods (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22), and active learning methods (23)(24)(25). We have developed a novel approach to cross-disciplinary and group learning that we have termed "interlaboratory collaborations".…”

Determination of the Universal Gas Constant, R. A Discovery Laboratory

“…Several instructors of chemistry have completely restructured their laboratory courses so that the discovery approach is used exclusively (1-7). Discoverytype experiments have been developed and existing experiments have been modified so that the discovery approach is used (8)(9)(10)(11).…”
