Text Book Of Experimental Organic Chemistry For Students

Excerpt from Experimental Organic Chemistry In several respects this book is somewhat different from similar ones which are in general use at the present time. It is a combination of textbook and laboratory manual in which the theoretical discussions and the laboratory experiments are blended together. This arrangement encourages the student to consult the text while he is doing the experiments in the laboratory, with the result that he is more likely to perceive clearly the relation between the theory and the practice. Only the more important compounds are discussed, and thus the student is not bewildered with a mass of information relating to a large number of compounds of minor importance. Again, experiments which are dangerous or very difficult for a beginner have been purposely omitted. The application of general reactions and the general relations between the different groups of compounds have received special attention; in fact, at frequent intervals review tables are given, showing the relation between the principal members of various groups of compounds. These review tables are very helpful in enabling the student to review at a glance the chemistry of a number of groups of compounds. Special emphasis has been laid upon the exact preparation of organic compounds, as this constitutes the most important feature of a course in organic chemistry. In accordance with this view the directions for performing the experiments have been written in a most precise and accurate manner and will be found unusually free from ambiguous statements; in fact, the student is usually told exactly what to do and how to do it. This method has given excellent results in the University of the Philippines, where it has been necessary to handle laboratory sections of more than one hundred students. It trains a student to follow directions and to rely upon himself rather than an instructor, it enables a teacher to handle large laboratory classes in a satisfactory manner, with the result that accidents and explosions seldom, if ever, occur.

This cutting-edge lab manual takes a multiscale approach, presenting both micro, semi-micro, and macroscale techniques. The manual is easy to navigate with all relevant techniques found as they are needed. Cutting-edge subjects such as HPLC, bioorganic chemistry, multistep synthesis, and more are presented in a clear and engaging fashion.

The definitive guide to the principles and practice of experimental organic chemistry - fully updated and now featuring more than 100 experiments The latest edition of this popular guide to experimental organic chemistry takes students from their first day in the laboratory right through to complex research procedures. All sections have been updated to reflect new techniques, equipment and technologies, and the text has been revised with an even sharper focus on practical skills and procedures. The first half of the book is devoted to safe laboratory practice as well as purification and analytical techniques; particularly spectroscopic analysis. The second half contains step-by-step experimental procedures, each one illustrating a basic principle, or important reaction type. Tried and tested over almost three decades, over 100 validated experiments are graded according to their complexity and all are chosen to highlight important chemical transformations and to teach key experimental skills. New sections cover updated health and safety guidelines, additional spectroscopic techniques, electronic notebooks and record keeping, and techniques, such as semi-automated chromatography and enabling technologies such as the use of microwave and flow chemistry. New experiments include transition metal-catalysed cross-coupling, organocatalysis, asymmetric synthesis, flow chemistry, and microwave-assisted synthesis. Key aspects of this third edition include: Detailed descriptions of the correct use of common apparatus used in the organic laboratory Outlines of practical skills that all chemistry students must learn Highlights of aspects of health and safety in the laboratory, both in the first section and throughout the experimental procedures Four new sections reflecting advances in techniques and technologies, from electronic databases and information retrieval to semi-automated chromatography More than 100 validated experiments of graded complexity from introductory to research level A user-friendly experiment directory An instructor manual and PowerPoint slides of the figures in the book available on a companion website A comprehensive guide to contemporary organic chemistry laboratory principles, procedures, protocols, tools and techniques, Experimental Organic Chemistry, Third Edition is both an essential laboratory textbook for students of chemistry at all levels, and a handy bench reference for experienced chemists.

Acquaints students with all basic laboratory procedures, coordinating enough theory and technique to enable readers to fully comprehend the reactions being studied and the procedures involved. Material is organized in four sections: techniques, experiments, organic qualitative analysis, and appendixes. The first section introduces students to all common organic techniques and provides an illustrative experiment with each. A unique format helps train the research-oriented student to look for relationships that are not immediately apparent. The experiments section moves on to more complex experiments involving synthetic procedures followed by work-up and analysis requiring more than one technique. Instructions are complete and easy to follow, and a set of pre-laboratory experiments encourages students to determine goals before beginning lab work. The appendixes cover less-referred-to techniques: sublimation, density determination, and molecular weight determinations; and contaion a pronunciation guide and a compilation of chemical hazards.
