Handbook Of Organic Chemistry

* Provides chemical engineers with practical information, tables, equations, and a thorough introduction to each subject * Over 50% of this edition is new material--more chemical compounds, new sections added to every chapter, updated tables, and new line-angle structural drawings

For students and vibrational spectroscopists working in molecular spectroscopy labs and dealing daily with spectral interpretation and data processing of organic spectra, polymers, and surfactants. This three-volume compendium contains detailed descriptions and reviews of ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared, Raman, and dielectric measurement techniques, as well as interpretive techniques, and information on all spectra, which are presented in terms of wavenumber and transmittance. Ultraviolet, visible, 4th-overtone NIR, 3rd-overtone NIR, and NIR spectra are also presented in terms of nanometers and absorbance space; and horizontal ATR spectra are presented in terms of wavenumber and absorbance space. The spectra found here are useful for identification purposes as well as for instruction in the various interpretive and data-processing techniques discussed. Editor Workman is employed at Kimberly-Clark Corporation. c. Book News Inc.

Combining two approaches to organic chemistry - discussion of the concepts and a provision of the factual information - this book is unique in its field. As a reference book it embraces not only chemical but also industrial and biological applications, and at the same time it provides the reader with a good understanding of this complex and important area of science.

A Handbook to Organic Chemistry Mechanisms is designed to accompany a standard organic chemistry textbook. The book presents complete mechanisms, start to finish, without any steps skipped or left out. The mechanisms have been carefully written to show each step in a logical and easy to follow format. Students have enthusiastically attested to the ease with which they could understand the mechanisms. Reaction mechanisms are one of the most challenging aspects of organic chemistry. This book is derived from Part D of A Guide to Organic Chemistry Mechanisms. That book is a guided inquiry workbook that shows students how to study and enables them to learn reaction mechanisms. Student knowledge is increased step by step by completing mechanisms at easy, moderate, and textbook levels of difficulty. A Handbook to Organic Chemistry Mechanisms also relies on example-based teaching. Chemical reactions can be learned in context, the way infants learn. Learning reactions from rules is difficult when there are many exceptions. Substitution and elimination reactions are noteworthy due to the number of conditions that must be accounted for. With example-based teaching, you can deduce the importance that stereochemistry, structure, solvent, leaving group, charge, basicity, or nucleophilicity may have on a reaction. A Handbook to Organic Chemistry Mechanisms has been designed with the principle that our brains are pattern-matching machines. Therefore, an emphasis has been placed upon the patterns of reactions. Each chapter represents a basic mechanistic theme. That theme is repeated with the examples. Insightful explanations have been included with the mechanisms. This book will be a valuable resource for reviewing for an exam, solving problems, or studying for the MCAT.

Organicum: Practical Handbook of Organic Chemistry focuses on the theory, laboratory practice, and aspects of technical use related to organic chemistry. This book discusses the standard apparatus for organic reactions, heating of inflammable liquids, performance of a simple distillation, and partition chromatography in separating columns. The time factor in organic chemical reactions, distribution of the electron density in organic molecules, and synthesis of ethers from alkoxides or phenoxides are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the mechanism of electrophilic aromatic substitution, quinones from aromatic hydrocarbons, and reduction of carbonyl compounds by means of complex hydrides. Other topics include the reaction with ammoniacal solution of a silver salt, preparation of the dimedone derivatives, and saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. This publication is suitable for chemists and researchers conducting work in organic chemistry.
