Synthesis of Triphenylene Derivatives: Introducing the Formation of Benzene Rings into the Experimental Teaching of Organic Chemistry

A Comprehensive Inquiry-Based Comparative Experiment for an Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Laboratory Course: Elucidating the Formation Process of N-Phenylbenzamide

“…Comprehensive organic chemistry laboratory curricula have been shifting toward an increasing emphasis on the multidisciplinary applications of organic chemistry in various fields. These include the synthesis of organic compounds for their biological applications, the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts for organic reactions, multistep organic synthesis with higher yield, the implementation of one-pot synthetic strategies involving microwave technology, and multicomponent reactions (MCRs) . The traditional pedagogy in an organic chemistry laboratory typically lets students follow the procedures so they can obtain the desired products and the expected specific analytical results.…”
