Laboratory Manual for Organic Chemistry, 2nd edition, has been extensively revised from its first edition. All of the exercises, for example, have been modified to improve product yield, better fit within the increasingly common three-hour lab period, and/or minimize hazardous waste generation. In addition to these improvements, four new exercises have been added: a synthesis of biphenyl via a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction, a corresponding exercise that explores substituent effects on the reaction's yield, a chemistry drawing software exercise, and a vanillyl alcohol synthesis. Notably, all of the artwork and reactions from the first edition have been redrawn for ease and clarity. Lastly, the appendix and instructor's manual have been updated.
