The Systematic Identification Of Organic Compounds

First written in 1935, Shriner remains a classic text in the field. Coauthor Christine Hermann has introduced modern methods and topics and completely updated the illustration and photo program. The book is ideal for the Advanced Organic Lab and for Spectroscopy courses.

Step-by-step instructions on identifying organic compounds. The steps described include elemental analysis, solubility, infrared spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, mass spectra, classification tests, and preparation of a derivative. Most directions for experiments are described in a micro or mini scale and clean up directions are given at the end of each procedure. Emphasizes the systematic approach to identifying unknowns. -- Offers a review of spectroscopy. -- Discusses infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopy and includes examples of spectra. -- Discusses chromatography, distillations, and the separation of mixtures.

The Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds A comprehensive introduction to the identification of unknown organic compounds Identifying unknown compounds is one of the most important parts of the study of chemistry. From basic characteristics such as melting and/or boiling point to more complex data generated through cutting-edge techniques, the range of possible methods for identifying unknown organic compounds is substantial. The utility of a research reference which compiles known techniques and characteristics of possible compounds is clear. The Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds provides such a reference, designed to teach a hands-on approach in the chemistry lab. It takes readers step-by-step through the process of identifying an unknown compound and elucidating its structure from infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra in addition to solubility characteristics, melting point, boiling point, and classification tests. The result is an essential overview for advanced chemistry students looking to understand this exciting area of laboratory work. Readers of the ninth edition of The Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds will also find: A detailed chapter on safety, personal protection equipment, chemical storage, safety data sheets, and other safety concerns New NMR, IR, and mass spectra with detailed explanations on interpretation Questions at the end of each chapter designed to facilitate and reinforce progression, keyed to a companion website for instructors Tables of known compounds including data relevant for identification Companion website with structural problems from experimental data for students to practice how to reason and solve The Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds is a useful reference for advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying organic chemistry, organic spectroscopy, and related subjects.

The Student Solutions Manual to accompany The Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds, 9th Edition is an essential resource for any student using the parent text in class. Providing complete solutions to all practice problems provided in the textbook, this book allows you to assess your understanding of difficult material and clarify complex topics. Fully aligned with the text, this book details structures, formulas, mechanisms, and more to help you pinpoint areas of difficulty and focus your study time for more efficient learning.
