Like its previous five editions, this book is ideally suited for use in a sophomore-level laboratory course in organic chemistry.
Key Features of This Edition:
Provides information on safety, glassware, lab cleanup, collection and disposal of waste, preparation of the laboratory notebook, and use of the chemical literature.
Provides clear instructions on how to perform the procedures that are used.
Appeals to the esthetic dimension by offering experiments in a variety of scales -from micro scale to semi-micro and to 5- and 10-gram scale.
Includes descriptions of the interpretation of IR, UV/Vis, NMR and mass spectra.
Gives procedures for the isolation of organic compounds from familiar materials such as nutmeg, cloves, citrus rind, tea, cola, NoDoz, aspirin, ibuprofen, milk and gallstones.
Gives "recipes" for the preparation of organic compounds that illustrate many of the reactions that are discussed in the lecture part of the course.
Gives procedures for the preparation of compounds with interesting properties: compounds that produce light, change color when heated, have different colors in different solvents, or turn blue in the sun.
Includes the famous "bootstrap synthesis": the preparation of two molecules from one.
Includes procedures for the preparation of 7 different compounds from vanillin.
