Manulyx keeps one template per document class and relates every venue to it, rather than one near-identical card per journal. Searching the gallery for any of these names finds this template.

\section*{Course description}
Structure, bonding and reactivity of carbon compounds: nomenclature, stereochemistry,
acid--base chemistry, substitution and elimination, and an introduction to spectroscopy.
The weekly laboratory teaches purification, melting points, chromatography and simple
synthesis.
\section*{Learning outcomes}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Name organic compounds and draw their three-dimensional structures.
\item Predict the products of substitution and elimination reactions and propose mechanisms.
\item Identify functional groups from infrared and NMR spectra.
\item Carry out and document basic laboratory techniques safely.
\end{enumerate}
\section*{Required materials}
An organic chemistry textbook (current edition), a molecular model kit, a bound
laboratory notebook, safety goggles and a lab coat.

\section*{Policies}
\begin{description}
\item[Attendance.] Laboratory attendance is required; a missed lab can be made up once,
in the make-up week.
\item[Late work.] Lab reports are due one week after the experiment; late reports lose
10\% per day.
\item[Academic integrity.] Data must come from your own experiment. Fabricated or copied
data is reported as misconduct.
\item[Accessibility.] Students who need accommodations, including in the laboratory,
should contact the accessibility office before the first lab.
