A scaffold for an advanced organic laboratory course will be presented. This course has been designed with the goal of providing students with laboratory experience in the major areas of modern organic chemistry research (including physical organic chemistry, stereoselective synthesis, flow chemistry, and a medicinal chemistry-inspired research project). The students who are enrolled in this course are chemistry and biochemistry majors in their junior or senior years, and approximately half of them are or have been involved in research. The research project was added in order to offer this experience to any student who happened to sign up for the course, removing any barriers that might otherwise deter students from engaging in this formative educational experience. All aspects of this course will be discussed, including course structure, research project design and development, student outcomes, and areas for improvement.
