Steven Chung's Organic Chemistry Laboratory Manual introduces students to standard techniques of organic chemistry and applies these techniques to the isolation and purification of products. It is suited for both a one-semester survey course or the first of a two-semester sequence. All experiments are readily completed in a three-hour laboratory period.
