Title: A Novel Approach for the Integration of Organic Extraction, Green Chemistry, and Infrared Spectroscopy Concepts in Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Laboratory
Authors: Andre, Victoria, Ahmad, Hiba, Ahmed, Khalique

Subject Terms: Laboratories and Demonstrations, Organic Chemistry, Extraction, Infrared Spectroscopy, Green Chemistry
Description: In almost all undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory curricula, students are taught the concepts of organic extraction and infrared spectroscopy through some appropriate experiments. In the case of organic extraction, a typical experiment, found in most organic chemistry laboratory manuals, involves the extraction of caffeine from tea. Furthermore, it is common for students to perform infrared spectroscopy in a separate experiment, allowing the student to gain a better understanding of the unique vibrations of distinct functional groups. In this short communication, we report the integration of these laboratory activities into a single activity, which teaches the concepts of green chemistry, organic extraction, and analytical infrared spectroscopy.
