Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry

Most widely used, established and respected reference manual for the organic chemistry laboratory. Incorporates new reactions and techniques now available to the organic chemist.

This book aims to fully reflect the many and different aspects of organic chemistry practices with which students will have to become familiar. The synthesis of organic compounds is traditionally an important part of organic chemistry training. By undertaking the preparation of a diverse range of compounds, and using a representative selection of action processes and techniques, the future (organic) chemist becomes familiar with the chemical processing and physical properties of organic substances and begins to understand more clearly the factors that govern their responsiveness.
