Laboratory Techniques In Organic Chemistry

Laboratory Techniques in Organic Chemistry is the most comprehensive and detailed presentation of the lab techniques organic chemistry students need to know. Compatible with any organic chemistry lab manual or set of experiments, it combines specific instructions for three different kinds of laboratory glassware: miniscale, standard taper microscale, and Williamson microscale. It is written to provide effective support for guided-inquiry and design-based experiments and projects, as well as for traditional lab experiments.

This highly effective and practical manual is designed to be used as a supplementary text for the organic chemistry laboratory course - and with virtually any main text - in which experiments are supplied by the instructor or in which the students work independently. Each technique contains a brief theoretical discussion. Steps used in each technique, along with common problems that might arise. These respected and renowned authors include supplemental or related procedures, suggested experiments, and suggested readings for many of the techniques. Additionally, each chapter ends with a set of study problems that primarily stress the practical aspects of each technique, and microscale techniques are included throughout the text, as appropriate. Additional exercises, reference material, and quizzes are available online.

Teaches students the basic techniques and equipment of the organic chemistry lab — the updated new edition of the popular hands-on guide. The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual helps students understand the basic techniques, essential safety protocols, and the standard instrumentation necessary for success in the laboratory. Author James W. Zubrick has been assisting students navigate organic chemistry labs for more than three decades, explaining how to set up the laboratory, make accurate measurements, and perform safe and meaningful experiments. This practical guide covers every essential area of lab knowledge, from keeping detailed notes and interpreting handbooks to using equipment for chromatography and infrared spectroscopy. Now in its eleventh edition, this guide has been thoroughly updated to cover current laboratory practices, instruments, and techniques. Focusing primarily on macroscale equipment and experiments, chapters cover microscale jointware, drying agents, recrystallization, distillation, nuclear magnetic resonance, and much more. This popular textbook: Familiarizes students with common lab instruments Provides guidance on basic lab skills and procedures Includes easy-to-follow diagrams and illustrations of lab experiments Features practical exercises and activities at the end of each chapter Provides real-world examples of lab notes and instrument manuals The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual: A Student’s Guide to Techniques, 11th Edition is an essential resource for students new to the laboratory environment, as well as those more experienced seeking to refresh their knowledge.

This comprehensive lab companion provides enough theory to help students understand how and why an operation works, but emphasizes the practical aspects of an operation to help them perform the operation successfully in the lab. For undergraduate or graduate students taking organic chemistry lab. This comprehensive lab companion provides enough theory to help students understand how and why an operation works, but emphasizes the practical aspects of an operation to help them perform the operation successfully in the lab. The Second Edition makes substantive revisions of many operations to clarify existing material and add new information. More environmentally friendly (i.e. ? green? ) lab experiments are encouraged. Ideal for professors who write their own lab experiments or would like custom labs but need a source for lab operations and safety information.

This book deals with general information about work in Organic Chemistry Laboratory, viz., safety, first aid, different types of apparatus and their assemblies used for various types of reactions, stirring arrangements, heating techniques and low temperature experiments. Various methods used for purification of organic compounds have been described. Besides the normal technique, the book includes write-up about molecular distillation, chromatography and electrophoresis. Special emphasis has been given to the methods, which can be used for working up of organic reactions. Various methods, which can be used successfully for isolation of products from natural sources, have been incorporated. Emphasis has also been given on the isolation of products from oily mixture using the technique of Liquid-Liquid extraction. Methods for determining the criteria of purity of organic compounds have been discussed. The book also deals with drying and purification of solvents, preparation of spectroscopical grade solvents and HPCL solvents. The preparation of commonly used deuterated solvents (which are used for NMR spectroscopy work) is a special feature of this book.
