Microscale Techniques For The Organic Laboratory

Written for the mainstream, sophomore/junior level Organic Chemistry course offered at both two and four year schools, this manual focuses upon implementing microscale techniques into the laboratory.

This updated revision offers total coverage of organic laboratory experiments and techniques focusing on modern laboratory instrumentation, a strong emphasis on lab safety, additional concentration on sequential reaction sequences, excellent pre- and post-lab exercises, and multistep experiments which maximize the number of manipulations students perform per lab period. The microscale approach is low in cost, offers ease of doing experiments and uses minimal amounts of chemicals. A number of experiments include instructions for scaling up.

This is a laboratory text for the mainstream organic chemistry course taught at both two and four year schools, featuring both microscale experiments and options for scaling up appropriate experiments for use in the macroscale lab. It provides complete coverage of organic laboratory experiments and techniques with a strong emphasis on modern laboratory instrumentation, a sharp focus on safety in the lab, excellent pre- and post-lab exercises, and multi-step experiments. Notable enhancements to this new edition include inquiry-driven experimentation, validation of the purification process, and the implementation of greener processes (including microwave use) to perform traditional experimentation.

Written for the mainstream, sophomore/junior level Organic Chemistry course offered at both two and four year schools, this manual focuses upon implementing microscale techniques into the laboratory.

Featuring new experiments unique to this lab textbook, as well as new and revised essays and updated techniques, this Sixth Edition provides the up-to-date coverage students need to succeed in their coursework and future careers. From biofuels, green chemistry, and nanotechnology, the book’s experiments, designed to utilize microscale glassware and equipment, demonstrate the relationship between organic chemistry and everyday life, with project-and biological or health science focused experiments. As they move through the book, students will experience traditional organic reactions and syntheses, the isolation of natural products, and molecular modeling.

The well-known and tested organic chemistry laboratory techniques of the two best-selling organic chemistry lab manuals: INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIC LABORATORY TECHNIQUES: A SMALL SCALE APPROACH and INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIC LABORATORY TECHNIQUES: A MICROSCALE APPROACH, 3/e are now assembled in one textbook. Professors can use any experiments alongside MICROSCALE AND MACROSCALE TECHNIQUES IN THE ORGANIC LABORATORY. Experiments can be selected and assembled from the two Pavia organic chemistry lab manuals, from professors' homegrown labs, or even competing texts. The 375 page, hardcover book serves as a reference for all students of organic chemistry. With clearly written prose and accurately drawn diagrams, students can feel confident setting up and running organic labs.
