The Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds

Dedicated to qualitative organic chemistry, this book explains how to identify organic compounds through step–by–step instructions. Topics include elemental analysis, solubility, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra; classification tests; and preparation of a derivative. Most directions for experiments are described in micro or mini scales. Discusses chromatography, distillations and the separation of mixtures. Questions and problems emphasize the skills required in identifying unknown samples.
