Theory and Practice in the Organic Laboratory

Integrating 52 microscale and standard scale procedures and experiments, this comprehensive organic laboratory text allows all schools-even those that cannot afford a large investment in commercial kits-to do effective microscale experiments. You'll also find standard scale experiments that expose students to techniques and apparatus. This edition covers treatment of safety and hazardous waste disposal; coverage of laboratory techniques for the handling, synthesis, separation, and purification of organic compounds; and inclusion of spectroscopic methods for the identification of compounds.
