This new manual takes students of organic chemistry through a multitude of basic laboratory techniques such as reaction setup, reflux, distillation, recrystallization, thin layer chromatography and many others. Modern spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Vis, FT-IR, and NMR are reviewed and utilized as a part of many experiments. As with all editions of this manual, the authors include pre-laboratory hand-in assignments and post experiment study questions.
Emphasis on the study of green chemistry, and its “12 principles” are focused on in many experiment to keep focus on learning fundamental environmental benignity. This manual offers comprehensive appendices of glassware identification, a table of acids, bases, and solvents’ fundamental properties, and problem-solving hints for spectral interpretation of organic molecules. You will find this a welcome and complementary addition to any undergraduate organic chemistry course.
