Practical Organic Synthesis: A Students Guide

Success in an experimental science such as chemistry depends on good laboratory practice, a knowledge of basic techniques, and the intelligent and careful handling of chemicals.
Practical Organic Synthesis is a concise, useful guide to good laboratory practice in the organic chemistry lab with hints and tips on successful organic synthesis. Topics covered include:safety in the laboratoryenvironmentally responsible handling of chemicals and solventscrystallisationdistillationchromatographic methodsextraction and work–upstructure determination by spectroscopic methods    searching the chemical literaturelaboratory notebookswriting a reporthints on the synthesis of organic compoundsdisposal and destruction of dangerous materialsdrying and purifying solvents
Practical Organic Synthesis is based on a successful course in basic organic chemistry laboratory practice which has run for several years at the ETH, Zurich and the University of Berne, and its course book Grundoperationen, now in its sixth edition.
Condensing over 30 years of the authors’ organic laboratory teaching experience into one easy–to–read volume, Practical Organic Synthesis is an essential guide for those new to the organic chemistry laboratory, and
