Two POGIL experiments were introduced into the organic chemistry laboratory curriculum at Monmouth University during the 2006-2007 academic year. In January 2007 students tested an experiment developed at the summer 2006 POGIL Laboratory Workshop. Each student converted an unknown primary alcohol into the corresponding alkyl bromide and then characterized the alkyl bromide using physical properties and spectroscopic methods. This allowed each student to answer the question, �Given the physical properties and spectral analysis of a synthesized alkyl bromide, what primary alcohol was employed in its preparation?� In December 2006 students carried out an adaptation of an established POGIL experiment, answering the question, �What role does solvent play in nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reactions?� Both experiments were well received; however, the first will undergo a few modifications before being used again in summer 2007.
