| More specifically, upon completion of the course, they will be able to:
• Carry out fundamental industrially relevant organic synthesis procedures following reported literature procedures on a multi-gram laboratory scale. (k3, k6)
• Purify and isolate the targeted compound using industrially approved isolation and purification methods such as distillation, (bed)filtration, and crystallization. (k3, k4)
• Assess and evaluate sustainability aspects of materials and industrially relevant organic synthesis procedures. (k2, k4, k5)
• Assess and evaluate safety-relevant aspects of materials and industrially relevant organic synthesis procedures. (k2, k4, k5)
• Apply the safety-relevant aspects to the execution of industrially relevant synthesis processes and the handling of hazardous materials. (k2, k3, k6)
• Characterize and analyze organic-technical products by refractive index, melting point, spectroscopic means, (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), thermal analyses (thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry), and application-related testing. (k3, k4, k5)
• Document their laboratory work in a protocol in a scientific writing style. (k4, k5)

The course is divided into three consecutive sections devoted to the following experimental manipulations and industrially-relevant products:
• Preparation, separation, purification, characterization, and application-related testing of biodiesel based on renewable resources (e.g., fats and oils).
• Preparation, separation, purification, characterization, and application-related testing of surface-active substances based on renewable resources (e.g., fats and oils) and fossil-based feedstocks.
• Perform reactions that include challenges in terms of kinetics and reaction energy employing differently controlled radical polymerizations.
