This text primarily contains laboratory exercises for CHEM 3010 & 3020. However, organic laboratory also involves many new techniques with which, along with the principles by which they operate, the student must become familiar. For this reason, CHEM 3010-3020 students will also need another text with information about these techniques, such as distillation, recrystallization and numerous others.
